U+FC31 "ﰱ" Arabic Ligature Feh with Alef Maksura Isolated Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, representing the joined combination of the Arabic letter feh (ف) and the letter alef maksura (ى) in their isolated form. This character is used in specific calligraphic and traditional text rendering contexts where a single glyph substitutes for the two separate characters, primarily for aesthetic consistency or historical encoding practices rather than modern standard Arabic text. It carries the bidirectional Arabic script properties and is typically employed in older font systems or decorative manuscripts to preserve the visual flow of the ligature as a distinct unit.
