U+FDC6 "ﷆ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FDC6 "ﷆ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script, combining the letters seen (س), khah (خ), and yeh (ي) into a single glyph that appears in the final form of a word. This ligature, part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, is primarily intended for compatibility with legacy text rendering and calligraphic traditions, where such connected letter sequences are visually condensed for aesthetic or stylistic purposes. It is rarely employed in modern standard Arabic text, as Unicode prefers separate character encoding for each letter unless specific formatting or historical usage requires the ligature.
