Description

The Unicode character U+08BE represents the Arabic letter 'PEH' with a small V (Alif). It is primarily utilized in digital text systems to display and encode the respective character from the Arabic script. In its cultural context, this letter forms part of the rich tradition of written Arabic, which has been used for over a millennium to express a vast array of languages, including Modern Standard Arabic, dialectal Arabic, and numerous regional varieties. The inclusion of U+08BE in Unicode enables accurate digital representation and transmission of these diverse linguistic expressions. In terms of technical context, this character plays an important role in the encoding and processing of text data for various applications, such as software localization, web content, and document formatting.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2238 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+08BE. 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+08BE to binary: 00001000 10111110. 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 10111110
