U+FCEB "" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Lam Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCEB "" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Lam Medial Form is a presentation form character used in the Arabic script to represent the connected medial shape of the letters Kaf (ك) and Lam (ل) when they appear together as a ligature. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was designed for compatibility with older text processing systems and specific typographic contexts. It does not have a semantic meaning on its own; instead, it encodes a specific glyph shape for rendering purposes, allowing the two letters to be displayed as a single joined form in the middle of a word. In modern Unicode text, this ligature is generally represented by the standard Arabic characters Kaf and Lam in sequence, with the shaping handled automatically by the font and rendering engine, making U+FCEB a legacy character primarily of historical or specialized use.
