Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FC6B "" Arabic Ligature Beh with Zain Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, representing the combined characters Beh (ب) and Zain (ز) joined together in their final form, meaning it is used when these two letters appear at the end of a word. This glyph simplifies the writing of the sequence بز into a single connected shape, as required by Arabic calligraphy standards for a more seamless and aesthetically pleasing script. Its inclusion in Unicode supports legacy encoding systems and ensures that digital text rendering can correctly display such traditional ligatures, which are often used in religious or classical texts but are less common in modern digital typography due to automatic shaping by modern fonts.
