U+FCE0 "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Heh Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCE0 "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Heh Medial Form is a typographic presentation form found in the Arabic script block, specifically designed for complex text rendering in certain legacy or compatibility contexts. This character represents a precomposed ligature that combines the Arabic letter "Yeh" (ي) carrying a Hamza Above (ٔ) with the medial form of the letter "Heh" (ه), which together form a single glyph used in cursive Arabic writing to indicate a specific phonetic or orthographic combination. Unlike modern Unicode text processing, which typically uses separate base characters and automatic shaping, U+FCE0 is a compatibility character intended to preserve the exact visual appearance of this ligature as it appeared in older character encoding standards or fonts, and its use is generally discouraged in favor of standard Unicode sequences that rely on dynamic glyph rendering.
