In case of different vendors are involved ,all the characters which formed
the cluster( the logical buffer ) are needed to be passed on the
communication channel,which then on the receiver end are converted into
ligature in the proprietary range of that vendor.
If present in Unicode ,that character itself can be transferred .
A+B+C = D
if D in Unicode we can send D else we need to send A+B+C which will be
decoded at receiver to ,say E which represents the glyph D in its
Proprietary range .

Ligatures for Arabic (and Latin and Aramaic) are included as
compatibility characters and the expectation is that they should not
be used in actual texts. Unicode expects that ligatures will be
formed by the display engine and should not be explicitly encoded
except where necessary for reasons such as round-trip compatibility,
and even then only as compatibility characters.
