Description

U+077D, also known as ARABIC LETTER SEEN WITH EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT FOUR ABOVE, is a Unicode character that combines the Arabic letter 'seen' with an extended Arabic-Indic digit four placed above it. This unique typographical element is primarily used in digital text to represent specific numbers or quantities within the context of Arabic numerals and linguistic systems. In certain cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, this character serves as a useful tool for expressing numbers with distinct formatting or emphasis, particularly when using the Arabic script. As an essential part of typography, U+077D demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of Unicode in accommodating diverse writing systems, allowing for accurate representation and transmission of text across various platforms and devices.

How to type the ݽ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1917 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ݽ has the Unicode code point U+077D. 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+077D to binary: 00000111 01111101. 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:
