U+FC4D "" Arabic Ligature Noon with Khah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FC4D "" Arabic Ligature Noon with Khah Isolated Form is a typographic ligature that combines the Arabic letters noon (ن) and khah (خ) into a single, connected glyph, intended for use in high-quality text rendering where such a compound form is preferred for visual harmony. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which is specifically designed to represent contextual and ligated shapes of Arabic script that are not part of the standard character set. The isolated form indicates the ligature appears on its own, typically at the beginning of a word or in isolation, and it serves to maintain the cursive flow of Arabic writing while reflecting a specific calligraphic tradition. Although modern Unicode usage often favors standard characters with dynamic shaping, this code point remains available for legacy compatibility and specialized typographic applications.
