Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FC2A "" Arabic Ligature Ain with Meem Isolated Form is a typographic ligature that combines the Arabic letter Ain (ع) with the letter Meem (م) into a single, connected glyph used exclusively in isolated form, meaning it appears alone without connecting to preceding or following characters. This character resides in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a range of Unicode designed to represent precomposed cursive variants for improved layout and readability in traditional Arabic script. Its primary function is to facilitate the accurate rendering of common letter combinations in calligraphic and printed texts, ensuring that the joined shape of Ain and Meem appears as a cohesive visual unit in contexts like typesetting the Quran or literary works, where such ligatures preserve the aesthetic flow and character of Arabic handwriting.
