U+FD9E "" Arabic Ligature Beh with Khah with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature representing a specific combination of three Arabic letters: beh (ب), khah (خ), and yeh (ي), joined together in a single glyph for use in the final position of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to support complex calligraphic and written forms of the Arabic script, particularly in contexts where traditional ligatures are preferred for aesthetic or historical correctness. It is not intended for general text interchange but rather for specialized, presentational use, as modern Unicode encoding typically handles such letter combinations through separate characters with automatic shaping by fonts. The ligature enhances readability and preserves the flowing, cursive style of Arabic calligraphy in texts such as religious manuscripts or formal inscriptions.
