The Unicode character U+06B3 represents the Arabic letter "GUEH" (ج), which holds a significant role in the Arabic language. This letter is primarily used in digital text for written communication, documentation, and various applications requiring the use of Arabic script. Its shape is derived from the historical development of Arabic calligraphy, specifically the Naskh script. The letter GUEH carries cultural importance as it represents key words, phrases, and concepts in Islamic literature, poetry, and other forms of traditional Arabic writing. In linguistic terms, it is a "fathatan" letter, meaning that it indicates a final short vowel when used in word formation. The accurate and precise usage of U+06B3 ensures the proper representation and interpretation of the Arabic language in digital text format, which is essential for global communication and understanding.

How to type the ڳ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1715 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڳ has the Unicode code point U+06B3. 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+06B3 to binary: 00000110 10110011. 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:
