U+FD94 "ﶔ" Arabic Ligature Heh with Meem with Meem Initial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﶔ
U+FD94 "ﶔ" Arabic Ligature Heh with Meem with Meem Initial Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script presentation forms block, specifically intended for use in complex text rendering where two meem letters and a heh are combined in their initial positional shapes to create a single glyph. This character facilitates more fluent and aesthetically consistent calligraphy in languages that use the Arabic alphabet, such as Arabic, Persian, or Urdu, by avoiding the separate spacing of the component letters. It appears primarily in historical or specialized digital typography contexts, as modern Unicode encoding typically relies on dynamic shaping algorithms rather than precomposed ligatures.
