U+FCAF "ﲯ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah Initial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FCAF "ﲯ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah Initial Form is a typographic presentation form found in the Arabic script block, specifically representing the initial positional variant of a ligature that combines the letters seen (س) and khah (خ) into a single connected glyph. This character is used in certain styles of Arabic calligraphy and text rendering to maintain visual coherence when the two consonants appear together at the beginning of a word, with the ligature serving as an optional display form rather than a fundamental part of standard Unicode textual encoding. Its inclusion in Unicode supports legacy document preservation and aesthetic typesetting for scripts that demand precise letter shaping.
