Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FC8B "ﲋ" Arabic Ligature Noon with Zain Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the combined letters noon (ن) and zain (ز) when they appear in the final position of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block in Unicode, which was designed to support complex text rendering and calligraphic styles found in traditional Arabic manuscripts. The ligature visually merges the two letters into a single glyph, streamlining handwriting or print for aesthetic or practical reasons, though it is not typically used in modern digital text input and may be replaced by a sequence of separate noon and zain characters in standard Arabic encoding.
