Description

U+08A4 Arabic Letter Feh with Dot Below and Three Dots Above is a specific character within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character in almost all known languages of the world. This particular character is used to represent the Arabic letter 'ف' with added diacritical marks. In digital text, it serves the purpose of representing this specific sound or phoneme in the Arabic language accurately. It's part of a set of characters used for rendering Arabic text according to its standard orthography, which includes letters, punctuation marks, and various other symbols unique to the Arabic script. This character, along with others in the Unicode system, ensures that digital communication remains clear and accurate across different languages and cultures. The Unicode Standard plays a crucial role in facilitating global communication and understanding by providing a consistent way of encoding characters for use in software and on the internet.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2212 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+08A4. 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+08A4 to binary: 00001000 10100100. 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:
    11100000 10100010 10100100
