Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCD1 "ﳑ" Arabic Ligee, Meem with Meem Initial Form is a typographic ligature used in standard Arabic script calligraphy and typesetting, combining two consecutive meem letters into a single connected glyph that appears at the beginning of a word or syllable. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes specialized contextual forms to better replicate the fluid, cursive nature of handwritten Arabic. Its initial form specifically indicates that the ligature is designed for the start of a word, where the first meem takes the initial shape and the second meem connects to it in a seamless, elongated stroke. This allows for more elegant and space-efficient text rendering in traditional Arabic print and digital typography.
