Description

U+0889 is the Unicode code point for "ARABIC LETTER NOON WITH INVERTED SMALL V." This character plays a vital role in digital text as part of the Arabic script, which is widely used in various languages such as Arabic, Urdu, and other regional languages. In the Arabic script system, each letter has several forms depending on its position within a word or a sentence, including initial, medial, final, isolated, and isolated final forms. The Arabic script is written from right to left, and letters are connected to each other, making it one of the most beautiful and intricate writing systems in the world. The "ARABIC LETTER NOON WITH INVERTED SMALL V" is a variant form of the Arabic letter "noon," which represents the voiced alveolar trill consonant sound (/dˡ/). This character, specifically, has an inverted small 'v' below it, which indicates that the letter should be written in the medial form. It is used when the letter "noon" occurs as a medial letter within a word or sentence. The inclusion of this specific character in digital text ensures proper rendering and readability of Arabic script across various devices and platforms, contributing to the preservation of cultural and linguistic integrity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2185 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+0889. 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+0889 to binary: 00001000 10001001. 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 10001001
