Description

U+087E, also known as Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Top Right Fatha and Left Ring, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent a specific letter in the Arabic alphabet. In the context of the Arabic language, this character serves as a representation of the consonant 'ع', which is known as Alef or Alif with a combination of two diacritics: Fatha (the attached top right mark) and Dammah (the attached left ring). The Fatha indicates a long vowel sound, specifically "a," while the Dammah denotes a guttural "d" sound. This character is essential in accurately transcribing Arabic text and maintaining its linguistic integrity. Its role in digital typography is crucial for preserving cultural nuances and facilitating accurate communication in both written and digital formats across various platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2174 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+087E. 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+087E to binary: 00001000 01111110. 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 10100001 10111110
