U+FD4C "" Arabic Ligature Sallallahu Alayhi Waaalihee Wa-Sallam is a typographic representation of the Islamic honorific phrase "Sallallahu Alayhi Waaalihee Wa-Sallam," which translates to "May God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family." This ligature is used in Arabic script to compactly express the traditional blessing invoked after mentioning the Prophet Muhammad's name in written texts, reflecting reverence and conciseness in religious calligraphy. It falls within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block of Unicode, designed to support complex script rendering for digital and printed Islamic literature. The character is not commonly used in modern standard Arabic text but appears in specialized religious documents, Quranic commentaries, and Hadith collections where space-saving and aesthetic fidelity to handwritten traditions are valued.
