Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FD78 "" Arabic Ligature Ain with Meem with Alef Maksura Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, representing the cursive combination of the letters Ain (ع), Meem (م), and Alef Maksura (ى) in their final positional form, which occurs at the end of a word. This ligature is a legacy character originally included to support traditional Arabic typesetting, where specific letter sequences are compressed into a single glyph for aesthetic or calligraphic harmony. It is part of a specialized Unicode range used primarily for backward compatibility with older fonts and text systems, rather than for modern standard Arabic writing, which typically encodes each letter separately without such precomposed ligatures.
