U+FCF8 "" Arabic Ligature Ain with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FCF8 "" Arabic Ligature Ain with Yeh Isolated Form is a special typographic unit in the Arabic script that combines the letters Ain (ع) and Yeh (ي) into a single glyph, used primarily in certain calligraphic styles and historical texts where ligatures are employed for aesthetic or space-saving purposes. This isolated form stands alone without connecting to adjacent characters, and it falls within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a range dedicated to contextual and ligature variants that are not typically used in modern digital typing but are preserved for compatibility with older document encoding or traditional writing systems. As such, U+FCF8 represents a specific visual rendering of the character sequence, distinct from the standard, separate rendering of the two letters in Unicode.
