U+FD87 "" Arabic Ligature Lam with Meem with Hah Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FD87 "" Arabic Ligature Lam with Meem with Hah Final Form is a specialized typographic glyph used in the Arabic script to represent a ligature, or connected form, of the three letters Lam (ل), Meem (م), and Hah (ح) combined into a single visual unit when they appear at the end of a word. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed for compatibility with older text processing systems that required precomposed shapes rather than using modern Unicode's standard combining mechanism. In practice, U+FD87 is employed in contexts such as Quranic text, calligraphy, or legacy fonts where the triple ligature is necessary to preserve the intended cursive flow and aesthetic of Arabic handwriting, though it is not commonly used in contemporary digital communication due to the preference for dynamic glyph shaping via OpenType features.
