Description

The character U+0898, ARABIC SMALL HIGH WORD AL-JUZ, is an essential element in the Arabic script. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark used to modify the basic letters of the alphabet and can affect the sound or meaning of words. The Al-Juz symbol indicates a vowel sound, specifically the 'a' sound when added to certain consonants in Arabic words. This character is integral to the proper rendering and understanding of written Arabic in various languages like Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and other regional languages that use the Arabic script. Due to its role as a diacritical mark, it may not be visible or appear differently depending on the font used, but it plays a crucial part in the accurate transmission and comprehension of written content in these languages. It has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, as it helps maintain the continuity and correctness of oral and written traditions in these regions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2200 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+0898. 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+0898 to binary: 00001000 10011000. 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 10011000
