U+FDC9 "﷉" Arabic Ligature Radi Allaahu Taaalaa Anh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FDC9 "﷉" Arabic Ligature Radi Allaahu Taaalaa Anh is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script to represent the honorific phrase "Radi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anh" meaning "May Allah Almighty be pleased with him." This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a range of precomposed ligatures designed for compatibility with older text rendering systems and for use in religious or scholarly texts where such phrases are frequently appended after the names of revered figures, particularly the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Its encoding as a single character allows for more compact representation and correct rendering in fonts that support Arabic calligraphy, though it is generally not intended for modern plain text interchange but rather for specialized display in contexts like Qur'anic commentary or Islamic literature.
