Unicode Version 17.0
ﶹ
U+FDB9 "ﶹ" Arabic Ligature Meem with Khah with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature that combines the Arabic letters meem (م), khah (خ), and yeh (ي) into a single connected glyph, specifically designed for use in the final position of a word within the Arabic script. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which encodes precomposed ligatures to support complex calligraphic styles and text rendering, particularly in traditional or formal contexts such as religious, historical, or decorative writing. Its usage is rare in modern digital text, but it serves to maintain the aesthetic and phonetic precision of Arabic calligraphy where certain letter combinations are naturally joined.
