Description

The Unicode character U+06AE, Arabic Letter Kaf with Three Dots Below, is a vital component of the Arabic script system in digital text. It represents a modified version of the Arabic letter 'Kaf', which is pronounced as /k/ or /ɡ/ in various Arabic dialects. The addition of the three dots below signifies a long vowel sound, such as /æː/, depending on the context within the word. In the field of typography and digital text, this character plays a crucial role in accurately representing the intended phonetic and semantic aspects of written Arabic content. The Arabic script is an abjad, a writing system that primarily conveys consonantal information, with vowel marks often added for clarity in certain contexts. U+06AE's inclusion in digital text allows for more precise communication and comprehension across various platforms, particularly within the Arabic-speaking world.

How to type the ڮ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1710 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڮ has the Unicode code point U+06AE. 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+06AE to binary: 00000110 10101110. 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:
    11011010 10101110
