ligature

 
   
1.
two characters joined together on one stem to form a combined character



2.
a short line connecting two characters

COMMENT: The most common ligatures are between ff, fl and fi, though they also occur between vowels as in oe. Ligatures are less commonly used now, because it is difficult to keyboard them on personal computers, which are frequently used by authors to supply text to a publisher.
