U+FCF1 "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Heh Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCF1 "" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Heh Medial Form is a presentation form character used in Arabic script, specifically designed for the medial position of a word where the letters Yeh (ي) and Heh (ه) are combined as a typographic ligature. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains precomposed ligatures intended for compatibility with older text processing systems that lack dynamic ligature shaping. In modern Unicode text, this ligature is typically handled automatically by fonts and rendering engines when Yeh and Heh appear consecutively in medial form, but U+FCF1 exists as an explicit encoded entity for legacy or specialized contexts. Its use is discouraged in plain text in favor of the standard two-character sequence, as it may cause interoperability issues with contemporary Arabic text rendering.
