Source: Browser Default
U+FCE5 "ﳥ" Arabic Ligature Theh with Meem Medial Form is a typographic ligature from the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to represent the combination of the Arabic letters theh (ث) and meem (م) in their medial forms within a connected text. This character is primarily used for compatibility with older or legacy font systems that employed such ligatures for improved calligraphic appearance or text rendering, rather than for standard modern Arabic encoding. Its function is to simplify the display of these two letters when they appear together in the middle of a word, allowing them to be shown as a single unified glyph for aesthetic or technical reasons.
