Source: Browser Default
U+FCFA "ﳺ" Arabic Ligature Ghain with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the combination of the letters ghain (غ) and yeh (ي) as a single glyph in their isolated form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was designed to support traditional and calligraphic text rendering where such ligatures are common. It appears primarily in historical or stylized digital texts, where it facilitates a smoother visual connection between the two letters that would otherwise be written separately. Its use enhances readability and maintains the aesthetic flow of Arabic calligraphy in specific contexts, though it is not employed in standard modern Arabic orthography.
