Source: Browser Default

U+FBC5 "" Arabic Ligature Rahmatu Allaahi Taaalaa Alayh is a typographic ligature historically used in Arabic script to represent the honorific phrase "Rahmatu Allaahi Taaalaa Alayh," which translates to "the mercy of Allah the Exalted be upon him." This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed for compatibility with older text rendering systems, and it is typically employed in Islamic religious texts and calligraphy to concisely express a blessing for deceased pious individuals, such as prophets or saints. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates the digital representation of traditional manuscript styles, though modern Arabic text usually spells out the full phrase rather than relying on such ligatures.
