The Unicode Standard 11.0.0 says the following in section [9.2 Arabic Presentation Forms-A: U+FB50–U+FDFF, Word Ligatures](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ch09.pdf#page=32) (this was added in Unicode 7.0.0): > U+FDF2 <span style="font-variant: all-small-caps;">ARABIC LIGATURE ALLAH ISOLATED FORM</span> is a very common ligature, used to diplay the name of God. When the formation of the *allah* ligature is desired, the recommended way to represent the word would be <*alef*, *lam*, *lam*, *shadda*, *superscript alef*, *heh*> <0627, 0644, 0644, 0651, 0670, 0647>. In non-Arabic languages, other forms of *heh*, such as *heh goal* (U+06C1), may also form the ligature. Extra care should be taken not to form the ligature in the absence of the *shadda* and the *superscript alef*, as the sequence <*alef*, *lam*, *lam*, *heh*> and <*alef*, *lam*, *lam*, *shadda*, *heh*> exist in Persian and other languages with different meanings or pronunciations, where the formation of the ligature would be incorrect and inappropirate. -- GitHub Notification of comment by moyogo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/125#issuecomment-398683793 using your GitHub account
