Description

The Unicode character U+075E, Arabic Letter Ain with Three Dots Pointing Downwards Above, plays a significant role in digital text for representing the Arabic language. In typography, it is used to represent the letter 'AIN' which has three dots pointing downwards above the main character. This character holds cultural and linguistic importance as it allows speakers of the Arabic language to express their thoughts, ideas, and sentiments accurately in written form. The Arabic script, in general, is written from right to left, and U+075E follows this directionality. In technical terms, U+075E is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block within the Unicode Standard, which includes a wide range of characters designed to represent various aspects of the Arabic script in digital text.

How to type the ݞ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1886 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character ݞ has the Unicode code point U+075E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+075E to binary: 00000111 01011110. 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:
