nonvisible unicode character[edit]
HI, I'd like to know what is the font that must be installed for the alternative form ﷽﷽ to be seen. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:56, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know; it displays fine in my browser (Chrome) with no special font installed. However, I use the font Traditional Arabic for properly HTML-tagged Arabic on Wiktionary. (The Arabic in your post is not tagged, so it just displays in whatever the default font is.) Another nice font is Scheherazade. You can download one of those and add code to your Special:MyPage/common.css to make Wiktionary use it for Arabic in entries. — Eru·tuon 19:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, I did not see this before. I think any good Arabic font will have the ligature ﷽. It is a single character, one of the Arabic presentation forms. Its Unicode number is u+FDFD. —Stephen (Talk) 17:40, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
