Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCF3 "" Arabic Ligature Shadda with Damma Medial Form is a presentation form character used in Arabic script to represent a specific typographic ligature, where the shadda diacritic, which indicates consonant gemination, is combined with the damma diacritic, which indicates a short 'u' vowel sound, in a medial position within a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed for compatibility with legacy text rendering systems and older fonts, rather than for standard modern text encoding. Its primary purpose is to enable precise visual representation of this common ligature in contexts where automatic shaping or combining of diacritics may not be supported, helping to preserve the intended pronunciation and word structure in digital documents or printed materials.
