U+FDBC "ﶼ" Arabic Ligature Lam with Jeem with Meem Final Form is a specialized typographic ligature used in the Arabic script to represent the combined sequence of the letters Lam (ل), Jeem (ج), and Meem (م) in their final form, meaning it appears at the end of a word. This ligature streamlines handwriting and calligraphy by merging the three characters into a single, visually cohesive glyph, improving readability and aesthetic flow in written Arabic. It is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes precomposed ligatures for compatibility with legacy text rendering systems.
