Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCAC "" Arabic Ligature Khah with Meem Initial Form is a presentation form within the Arabic script block, specifically part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A range, which encodes contextual ligatures for calligraphic and typographic needs. It represents a ligature of the letter khah (خ) followed by meem (م) in their initial positional forms, meaning it is designed for use when both letters occur at the beginning of a word or syllable in connected Arabic text. This character is not typically used for plain text communication but rather for preserving historical or aesthetic rendering in documents, such as in the Quran or traditional manuscripts, where such ligatures enhance the script's flow and readability. It occupies a codepoint in the Unicode standard to ensure interoperability across systems for digital representation of these specialized typographic forms.
