This ligature is in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was only encoded for compatibility and is not recommended for use in regular Arabic text. [2] Unicode defines the semantics of a character by its character identity and its normative properties, one of these being the character's general category, given as a two-letter code (e.g ...
Its companion fonts, Unifont Upper and Unifont CSUR, have significant coverage of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and the ConScript Unicode Registry, respectively.

The Unicode standard does not specify or create any font (), a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs, itself.Rather, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a code point) and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations).
Many scripts in Unicode, such as Arabic, have special orthographic rules that require certain combinations of letterforms to be combined into special ligature forms. In English, the common ampersand (&) developed from a ligature in which the handwritten Latin letters e and t (spelling et , Latin for and ) were combined. [ 1 ]
The Unicode range currently used by the Burmese script was originally used for Tibetan script in Unicode 1.0.

Kawi is a Unicode block containing characters for Kawi script. The script was used historically in insular Southeast Asia to write the Old Javanese , Sanskrit , Old Malay , Old Balinese , and Old Sundanese languages.
The Kawi script was added to the Unicode Standard 15.0 in September 2022 based on a proposal by Aditya Bayu Perdana and Ilham Nurwansah. [13] [14] [1] An earlier preliminary proposal was submitted to the Unicode Technical Committee by Anshuman Pandey in 2012. [5] The Unicode block for the Kawi script is U+11F00–U+11F5F and contains 86 characters:
