Description

The Unicode character U+067E, Arabic Letter Peh (پ), is an essential glyph in the Arabic script, a member of the Semitic family of writing systems. In digital text, it serves as one of the 28 basic letters that form the basis of modern Standard Arabic and various regional dialects. The character represents a voiced bilabial stop, similar to the English "b" sound but with vocal cords vibrating, and is used in words with varying meanings such as 'to open', 'door', or 'mouth'. It holds significant cultural and linguistic value as it has been utilized for over a thousand years in diverse contexts, from religious texts like the Quran to scientific works and modern literature. U+067E is also crucial from a technical standpoint as it allows for proper text rendering in digital platforms by adhering to Unicode's encoding standard, ensuring accurate representation across different devices and systems, thus facilitating global communication and exchange of information.

How to type the پ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1662 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character پ has the Unicode code point U+067E. 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+067E to binary: 00000110 01111110. 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:
