Source: Browser Default
U+FD16 "ﴖ" Arabic Ligature Ghain with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script block, representing a combination of the letter ghain (غ) and yeh (ي) in their final forms, which occur when both characters appear at the end of a word. This ligature is used in certain traditional or stylistic Arabic calligraphy and text rendering to merge the two characters into a single connected glyph, enhancing visual harmony in written Arabic. It is not a standard modern character for everyday text but is encoded in Unicode to support historical, religious, or decorative contexts where such ligatures are preserved.
