Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FD6C "" Arabic Ligature Sheen with Meem with Meem Final Form is a specialized typographic glyph used in the Arabic script, representing a tri-ligature where the letter sheen (ش) is connected first to a meem (م) and then to another meem in its final form, which appears at the end of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a range of Unicode designed to support complex text layout and calligraphic traditions, particularly for historic or stylistic Quranic and religious texts where such compact, connected forms improve visual flow and aesthetic harmony. While modern digital Arabic typically uses separate characters and shaping algorithms to create ligatures dynamically, U+FD6C provides a precomposed option for specific, high-fidelity rendering needs, ensuring that scholars and typesetters can accurately reproduce traditional manuscripts without relying on software that may not support advanced ligature substitution.
