Description

U+076C is the Unicode character code for Arabic Letter Reh with Hamza Above (Arabic: رُ مَسْتَعْمَلُ في النصوص الرقمية). In the context of digital text, it plays a significant role in representing the Arabic language, which is widely spoken across the Middle East and North Africa. The character is part of the Arabic script, an abjad system that has been used for more than 1,400 years to write various languages, including Modern Standard Arabic, classical Arabic, and several dialects. U+076C features a unique combination of two characters: the base letter "رُ" (Reh) and an additional diacritical mark, in this case, a Hamza Above, which indicates a short vowel sound. This character's accurate representation in digital text is crucial for maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating seamless communication across different platforms and devices.

How to type the ݬ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1900 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ݬ has the Unicode code point U+076C. 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+076C to binary: 00000111 01101100. 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:
