U+FC23 "" Arabic Ligature Dad with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script that represents the combined visual appearance of the letters "ḍād" (ض) and "ḥāʾ" (ح) when they appear together in their isolated form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a special range of Unicode designed for legacy text rendering and calligraphic styles, and it helps maintain proper spacing and aesthetic flow in Arabic typography by joining the two consonants into a single glyph. As an isolated form, it appears when these two letters are not connected to other characters on either side, often at the end of words or in specific orthographic contexts where traditional cursive joining is not applied.
