U+FDA1 "ﶡ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Khah with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FDA1 "ﶡ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Khah with Yeh Final Form is a typographic compound used in the Arabic script to represent the sequence of the letters teh (ت), khah (خ), and yeh (ي) combined into a single glyph when they appear at the end of a word. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms block in Unicode and is intended for compatibility with legacy text rendering systems that employed such precomposed shapes. It functions as a final form, meaning it only appears at the end of a word, and its use helps maintain the fluent cursive style of Arabic calligraphy by merging the three distinct characters into a connected visual unit.
