Description

The Unicode character U+08BA, known as the Arabic Letter Yeh with Two Dots Below and Small Noon Above, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the Arabic script. This character is utilized to represent the sound "y" in various dialects of the Arabic language, such as Modern Standard Arabic and certain regional varieties. In the context of linguistics, it contributes to the rich tapestry of the Arabic alphabet, which consists of 28 letters, each with its own unique form and pronunciation. In terms of cultural significance, U+08BA is part of a written tradition that dates back over a thousand years, with roots in the pre-Islamic period. The Arabic script has been instrumental in shaping Islamic thought, literature, science, and mathematics throughout history. Moreover, it continues to be an essential medium for communication in numerous countries across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond. From a technical standpoint, U+08BA is one of many Arabic characters encoded within Unicode, a standardized encoding system that aims to represent every character used in written languages worldwide. This standardization enables smooth interchange of digital text between different platforms, applications, and devices, thereby promoting global communication and understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2234 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+08BA. 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+08BA to binary: 00001000 10111010. 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 10111010
