Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCD7 "" Arabic Ligature Heh with Jeem Initial Form is a presentation form glyph found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to represent a ligature of the Arabic letters Heh (ه) and Jeem (ج) in their initial positional form. This character is used primarily in complex text rendering systems, such as those for traditional or calligraphic Arabic scripts, where it appears as a single connected shape at the beginning of a word, rather than as two separate characters. It belongs to a set of encoded ligatures that facilitate proper visual display in older or specialized fonts, though modern Unicode processes typically prefer dynamic shaping through standard Arabic character combinations.
