Description

U+0773 is the Unicode code point for the Arabic letter Alef with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above. This character is typically used in digital text to represent a specific combination of an initial consonant and a numeral within the Arabic script system. The Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above modifier adds a numerical value to the base character, Alef, which represents the Arabic phoneme /ʔ/, a glottal stop or uvular implosive. This unique combination of characters serves an important role in the Arabic language by enabling precise communication and expression in various linguistic and cultural contexts. The use of such digitally modified Arabic script contributes to the richness and diversity of written communication within the Arabic-speaking world, and highlights the flexibility and adaptability of the Arabic script system.

How to type the ݳ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1907 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ݳ has the Unicode code point U+0773. 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+0773 to binary: 00000111 01110011. 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:
