Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCD8 "" Arabic Ligature Heh with Meem Initial Form is a presentation form character used in the Arabic script to represent a typographic ligature combining the letters heh and meem in their initial (word-starting) forms, where the shapes of the two letters are merged into a single glyph for stylistic or calligraphic convenience. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains precomposed ligatures primarily intended for compatibility with legacy text encoding systems, as modern Unicode text usually relies on standard combining mechanisms. It is not typically used in modern digital typography except when preserving the exact visual appearance of older documents or specialized fonts that require these specific ligature shapes.
