U+FC36 "ﰶ" Arabic Ligature Qaf with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FC36 "ﰶ" Arabic Ligature Qaf with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic presentation form used in Arabic script to represent the joined letters of qāf (ق) and yāʼ (ي) as a single, cursive glyph in their isolated form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which provides encoded shapes for automated text layout systems, particularly when software cannot dynamically generate the correct ligatures. Visually, it creates a compact, stylized unit where the initial qāf seamlessly transitions into the final yāʼ, preserving the right-to-left flow of Arabic calligraphy. Its use is primarily historical or for specialized typesetting, as modern Unicode rendering typically forms such ligatures algorithmically from the individual letters.
