Description

The Unicode character U+089E represents the Arabic Doubled Madda (ع). In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in the Arabic script, where it is used to double the effect of the adjacent letter's madda, which refers to the diacritical marking denoting vowel sounds. This doubling can alter the pronunciation or accentuation of a word, making it essential for accurate communication in Arabic language. The Unicode standard, which includes this character, is widely used across different platforms and programming languages, ensuring consistent representation of text across various digital mediums. As part of the rich Arabic script tradition, U+089E has significant cultural and linguistic importance in the Arab world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2206 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+089E. 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+089E to binary: 00001000 10011110. 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 10011110
