U+FEF6 "" Arabic Ligature Lam with Alef with Madda Above Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the combination of the letters Lam (ل) and Alef (ا) with a madda diacritic (˜) placed above, written in its final form. This character appears only at the end of a word or in an isolated position, and it is part of a set of presentation forms designed for compatibility with older display systems that lack automatic ligature support. In modern Arabic text, the separate characters Lam, Alef, and madda are typically rendered dynamically, but U+FEF6 remains available for preserving legacy encoding and for specialized contexts like certain historical documents or fonts where precomposed forms are required.
