U+FDB7 "ﶷ" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Meem with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character
U+FDB7 "ﶷ" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Meem with Yeh Final Form is a specialized typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, where the letters Kaf (ك), Meem (م), and Yeh (ي) are visually combined into a single connected glyph for calligraphic elegance and efficient text rendering. This character falls within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains ligatures designed for traditional manuscript styles and Koranic text formatting rather than modern digital Arabic typography. It specifically represents the final form of this three-letter sequence, meaning it appears at the end of a word or syllable where the ligature's final tail is shaped accordingly. As a presentation form, it is generally not used in standard Unicode encoding for plain text but serves to preserve historical or stylistic variations in Arabic calligraphy.
