U+FC8A "ﲊ" Arabic Ligature Noon with Reh Final Form Unicode Character

U+FC8A "ﲊ" Arabic Ligature Noon with Reh Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script, specifically representing the joined pair of the letters noon (ن) and reh (ر) in their final positional form, meaning it appears at the end of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was designed to support legacy text rendering and provides precomposed glyphs for common ligatures. It ensures that the cursive connection between the tail of the final noon and the reh is visually seamless, reflecting traditional calligraphic practice in Arabic writing, particularly in styles like Naskh or Nastaliq. While primarily used for compatibility with older systems and in contexts requiring precise orthographic control, modern Unicode implementations often prefer combining the individual characters with a zero-width joiner for dynamic shaping.
