Additional characters for combinations of letters

Certain combinations of letters occur very often in the Arabic language. To shorten the writing process, Arabic has come up with additional characters for those combinations.

Special signs for widely used combinations of letters (some examples):
ا + ل لا أ + ل لأ
إ + ل لإ ى + ف
ي + ف م + ث
م + ل ي + ل
ح + ل ى + ل
ى + ن ي + ن
م + ي ج + ل ﰿ
م + ن نم ي + ت تي
خ + ن نحـ ج + ن نج ـ

Examples:
لإنطلاق / al-ʾinṭilāq (English translation: departure)
الترتيب / attartyb (English translation: order)
