Source: Browser Default
U+FCB7 "ﲷ" Arabic Ligature Dad with Meem Initial Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the combination of the letters ḍād (ض) and mīm (م) in their initial positional forms, where the two characters are connected as a single glyph for calligraphic or typesetting efficiency. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to facilitate the rendering of traditional Arabic text with aesthetic joins that may not be produced by standard Unicode shaping engines. It appears at the beginning of a word, as the initial form of both letters merge, and is primarily employed in contexts like Quranic or classical manuscripts to maintain historical orthographic conventions.
