Source: Browser Default
U+FC59 "ﱙ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Alef Maksura Isolated Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, representing the combined visual form of the Arabic letter Yeh (ي) and the letter Alef Maksura (ى) when they appear together as a single glyph in isolated position. This character is used in specialized Arabic calligraphy and text rendering contexts to maintain aesthetic continuity, particularly in classical or liturgical documents where such ligatures are common. It should not be confused with separate, non-ligated representations, as its encoded form preserves a specific graphical appearance for legacy or compatibility purposes in digital fonts and text systems.
