Description

U+08F6 is a unique character in the Unicode system, representing the Arabic Kasra with Dot Below. This character is primarily used in digital text for the Arabic script and plays an essential role in rendering accurate typography for languages that utilize this writing system. The Arabic Kasra with Dot Below (U+08F6) serves as a diacritical mark, which is placed above or below other characters to modify their pronunciation or meaning. In the context of Arabic script, it is often used to indicate a long vowel sound or a distinct phonetic feature in certain words and phrases. This character is crucial for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital text, ensuring that written communication remains clear, precise, and easily understood by native speakers of the language. By using Unicode, U+08F6 ensures compatibility across different platforms, devices, and applications, enabling effective communication and preservation of linguistic diversity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2294 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+08F6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+08F6 to binary: 00001000 11110110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
