Description

U+08C6 Arabic Letter Jeem with Three Dots Below is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use within the Arabic script. In digital text, it primarily serves to represent the Arabic letter jeem (ج), which is one of the 28 letters of the basic Arabic alphabet. The three dots below the letter indicate that the following letter should be written in isolated form, meaning it is a separate word or independent from other words in the text. This character plays an essential role in preserving the linguistic integrity and accurate rendering of Arabic texts in various digital platforms and applications. It is important to note that the use of U+08C6 is culturally significant for millions of Arabic speakers, as it ensures the correct representation and pronunciation of words in their language. In addition, its technical implementation contributes to the overall legibility and readability of Arabic text in the digital world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2246 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+08C6. 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+08C6 to binary: 00001000 11000110. 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 10100011 10000110
