U+FDF5 "ﷵ" Arabic Ligature Salam Isolated Form is a typographic glyph used in Arabic script to represent the word "salam" (meaning "peace") as a single, connected ligature when it appears in its isolated form, separate from other characters. This ligature is part of the Unicode standard’s Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains specialized shapes for calligraphic and traditional text rendering, particularly in religious or formal contexts. It functions as a visual abbreviation, allowing the word to be written compactly and elegantly, and is commonly encountered in Islamic texts, decorations, or digital typography where space or aesthetic considerations matter.
