Source: Browser Default
U+FC88 "ﲈ" Arabic Ligature Meem with Alef Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script, specifically representing a combined glyph of the letters Meem (م) and Alef (ا) in their final positional form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which is intended for compatibility with legacy text rendering systems and is not typically used for modern plain text. Its design reflects the calligraphic joining of the two letters at the end of a word, where the Meem curves into the vertical stroke of the Alef, appearing as a single, compact unit for aesthetic or script rendering purposes.
