U+FCD9 "ﳙ" Arabic Ligature Heh with Superscript Alef Initial Form Unicode Character

U+FCD9 "ﳙ" Arabic Ligature Heh with Superscript Alef Initial Form is a presentation-form glyph used in the Arabic script to represent a specific typographic ligature, combining the character heh (ه) with a superscript alef (ا) in its initial position within a word. This ligature appears in historical or calligraphic texts, particularly in the Ottoman Turkish or Persian traditions, where it denotes a grammatical or stylistic contraction, such as in the word for "this" or "that" written with a diacritical alef above the heh. It is encoded in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block and is intended for compatibility with legacy fonts and systems, not for modern standard use.
