Description

The character U+06BC, known as the Arabic Letter Noon with Ring (ق), is a significant part of the Arabic script in digital text. It typically represents the Arabic sound /n/ in various contexts and is used extensively in the written Arabic language. As an integral component of the Arabic alphabet, U+06BC contributes to the rich cultural heritage and linguistic complexity that characterizes this writing system, which has been in use for over 14 centuries. The Arabic script is employed not only in the Arab world but also in many other regions where Arabic-speaking communities reside, including parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Furthermore, the Arabic script's unique characteristics, such as its right-to-left directionality and use of diacritics, make U+06BC and other Arabic characters essential for accurate digital representation of the language.

How to type the ڼ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1724 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڼ has the Unicode code point U+06BC. 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+06BC to binary: 00000110 10111100. 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:
