Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FC53 "" Arabic Ligature Heh with Alef Maksura Isolated Form is a typographic ligature found within the Arabic Presentation Forms block, specifically designed to represent the combination of the Arabic letter Heh (ه) followed by Alef Maksura (ى) in their isolated form as a single, joined glyph. This character was included to facilitate the correct visual representation of Arabic calligraphy and text rendering, where certain letter pairs are conventionally fused for aesthetic or legibility reasons in specific document contexts. It is encoded as a presentation form and should not be used in modern plain text processing, where standard Unicode combining sequences or normalization forms are preferred for semantic accuracy and interoperability.
