U+FCC5 "" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Hah Initial Form is a typographic ligature used in certain styles of Arabic script, specifically representing the initial form of the letters Kaf (ك) and Hah (ح) combined into a single glyph. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains precomposed ligatures designed to support text rendering in complex calligraphic or traditional contexts, such as when two adjacent consonants are fused for aesthetic or orthographic reasons. As an initial form, this ligature appears at the beginning of a word, where the Kaf takes its initial shape and merges smoothly with the following Hah, a practice common in older or highly stylized Arabic typography to improve visual flow or preserve historical character usage.
