Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCB0 "" Arabic Ligature Seen with Meem Initial Form is a typographic representation of the Arabic letters seen (س) and meem (م) combined into a single glyph, specifically designed to appear in the initial position of a word. It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was created to support historical and stylistic rendering of Arabic script, where certain letter pairs are often joined together in calligraphy or traditional typesetting to improve visual flow and readability. This particular ligature, like others in its category, is not used in standard modern Unicode text processing as it can be formed more dynamically through proper shaping engines, but it remains important for preserving the appearance of older documents and specialized textual contexts.
