U+FC08 "" Arabic Ligature Beh with Meem Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FC08 "" Arabic Ligature Beh with Meem Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically combining the letters Beh (ب) and Meem (م) into a single, connected visual form when they appear in sequence. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed for compatibility with older text processing systems that required precomposed ligatures rather than dynamic shaping. The isolated form indicates that this ligature stands alone, not connected to other characters on either side, and it is primarily utilized in contexts where a direct ligature representation is needed for display or printing, though modern Unicode systems typically rely on cursive joining behavior instead of such precomposed forms.
