Description

U+069C, also known as Arabic Letter Seen with Three Dots Below and Three Dots Above, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for languages using the Arabic script. This character represents a modified form of the Arabic letter Seen (س) and is used to denote specific phonetic or grammatical characteristics in certain dialects or languages. While it is not commonly utilized outside of these specific contexts, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be accurately rendered and supported across various digital platforms and applications. The Arabic script is a highly sophisticated writing system with a rich history dating back to the 7th century, and characters like U+069C contribute to its linguistic diversity and expressiveness.

How to type the ڜ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1692 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڜ has the Unicode code point U+069C. 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+069C to binary: 00000110 10011100. 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:
