Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCD6 "" Arabic Ligature Noon with Heh Initial Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the connected combination of the letters noon (ن) and heh (ه) at the beginning of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which encodes contextual glyph variants to enable proper display of cursive Arabic text in older or font-limited systems. It appears only in an initial position, where the noon connects to the following heh in a single glyph, streamlining the visual rendering of words that begin with this consonant sequence. As a presentation form, it is not typically used for modern text input but may be encountered in legacy documents or when specific calligraphic styles are required.
