U+FD4D "" Arabic Ligature Alayhaa as-Salaam is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script to represent the Arabic phrase "عليها السلام" (Alayhaa as-Salaam), which translates to "peace be upon her." This honorific expression is commonly applied after naming revered female figures in Islam, such as Maryam (Mary), the mother of Prophet Isa (Jesus), or other saintly women. The ligature serves as a space-saving and calligraphically elegant way to display the phrase in written text, ensuring that the blessing is rendered as a single, cohesive unit. It is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block in Unicode, designed primarily for compatibility with legacy text and specific typesetting needs.
