Description

The Unicode character U+063E, known as Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh with Two Dots Above, is a crucial glyph in the Arabic script system. This character has a significant role in digital text by representing an individual phoneme or sound in various Arabic dialects, including Persian (Farsi), Uzbek, and other Turkic languages. In these languages, it represents a voiced palatal fricative consonant sound (/\u0284/) similar to the English "y" sound in "yes." It's part of the Arabic Extended-A form of the script, which includes more than 31,000 characters. U+063E is not only essential for linguistic and cultural context but also plays a vital technical role in enabling correct text representation and accurate language translation in digital environments. By using this character accurately, we can ensure that written communication in these languages remains clear, precise, and faithful to the original intent of the author.

How to type the ؾ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1598 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ؾ has the Unicode code point U+063E. 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+063E to binary: 00000110 00111110. 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:
    11011000 10111110
