U+FC9B "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Heh Initial Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script within the context of certain presentation forms, specifically designed to render a combined initial form of the letters Yeh (with a Hamza above) and Heh seamlessly as a single glyph. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes complex positional variants that are not required for standard text encoding but are employed in legacy and high-end typography to mimic the calligraphic joining of letters in a word, such as at the beginning of a written sequence. Its inclusion helps ensure faithful visual representation of Arabic text in systems that rely on these predefined ligatures for proper cursive flow and aesthetic consistency.
