Description

The Unicode character U+089D represents the Arabic Superscript Alef Mokhassas (أع), a special letter in the Arabic script used predominantly in digital text for typographical purposes. This unique character is primarily utilized in the transcribing of technical and scientific terminologies from Latin to Arabic, where it acts as a superscripted version of the regular Alef. In this context, U+089D provides an essential bridge between different languages and disciplines. It's important to note that its usage is quite specific, as it serves a particular function in certain contexts but does not appear frequently in everyday Arabic text. As with other Unicode characters, its role is vital in facilitating accurate communication across cultures and languages, contributing to the globalization of information exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2205 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+089D. 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+089D to binary: 00001000 10011101. 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 10011101
