Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCEF "" Arabic Ligature Noon with Heh Medial Form is a presentation form character in the Arabic script block, specifically designed to represent the combined glyph of the Arabic letters Noon (ن) and Heh (ه) in their medial positional form within a word. This ligature is part of a set of contextual glyph variants intended for legacy or typographic rendering systems that require precomposed shapes, rather than for modern Unicode-compliant text processing, where standard combining characters are preferred. Its primary use is in historical documents, specialized fonts, or environments where precise calligraphic or typeface control is needed, linking the two consonants smoothly in the middle of a word, such as in certain Persian or Arabic words.
