U+FD82 "ﶂ" Arabic Ligature Lam with Hah with Alef Maksura Final Form Unicode Character
U+FD82 "ﶂ" Arabic Ligature Lam with Hah with Alef Maksura Final Form is a typographic glyph used in the Arabic script, representing a positioned ligature that combines the letters Lam, Hah, and Alef Maksura in their final form, as typically applied at the end of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains precomposed ligatures designed for compatibility with older text processing systems and for precise calligraphic display. It serves to visually merge these three characters into a single, connected form, streamlining the aesthetic flow of handwriting or typeset Arabic without altering the underlying semantic meaning of the text. The inclusion of Alef Maksura, a variant of the letter Alef that represents a long vowel sound, indicates that this ligature is specifically shaped for word endings where such a vowel occurs.
