The whole phrase is one character?

It's one codepoint, U+FDFD, with the name "Arabic Ligature Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem".

It’s one code point that’s (in theory) meant to hold the ligature of the whole phrase. As it stands it’s only used as a demonstration of Unicode difficulty.

﷽ translates to "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."
But it is indeed just the single character (U+FDFD)
