U+FC97 "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Jeem Initial Form is a typographic glyph used in the Arabic script, specifically designed for the initial position of a word where the letters Yeh with Hamza Above (ئ) and Jeem (ج) are joined as a single ligature. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was created to represent traditional calligraphic shapes that occur in print, allowing for precise visual rendering in contexts like Quranic or academic texts. Its usage aids in maintaining the authentic flow and cursive style of Arabic writing, though modern software often achieves similar effects through automatic ligature substitution in fonts.
