With Monospace 12 it already replaces the font (which is probably why it
takes so long for the glyph to show up on first try) and apparently
decomposes, too:

M-x describe-char

             position: 193 of 194 (99%), column: 1
            character: ۀ‎ (displayed as ۀ‎) (codepoint 1728, #o3300, #x6c0)

There are text properties here:

If I start emacs with "Fixed", it choses a different replacement font:

             position: 193 of 195 (98%), column: 1
            character: ۀ‎ (displayed as ۀ‎) (codepoint 1728, #o3300, #x6c0)

            file code: #xDB #x80 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
