Description

U+0695 ARABIC LETTER REH WITH SMALL V BELOW is a typographic character in the Unicode Standard, which enables the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text across different languages, platforms, and devices. In digital text, this character serves as an essential building block for creating Arabic words and phrases. The character represents the Arabic letter "رَه" (Reh), which is one of the 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. The Reh letter has a distinct shape resembling a reverse 'P', and its position within the Arabic script system denotes a voiced uvular fricative sound (ɢ). The addition of the small vertical stroke beneath the Reh character, denoted by U+0695, signifies a phonetic modification in the letter's pronunciation, transforming it into a 'Reh with Small V below'. This particular form is primarily used to represent the Arabic sound [ʁ], which is a voiced alveolar fricative. By encoding such linguistic nuances, Unicode ensures that digital text accurately reflects the intended phonetic and cultural aspects of the written language. Arabic script, including its unique letter forms and diacritics like U+0695 ARABIC LETTER REH WITH SMALL V BELOW, plays a crucial role in preserving the rich history, culture, and religious heritage of Arabic-speaking communities worldwide. The accurate representation of these characters enables seamless communication and understanding across various digital platforms, fostering global connectivity and collaboration.

How to type the ڕ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1685 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڕ has the Unicode code point U+0695. 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+0695 to binary: 00000110 10010101. 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:
