Description

U+069F is the Unicode character for Arabic Letter Tah with Three Dots Above (عُ). This typographic symbol holds a crucial role in digital text within the Arabic script system. As an integral part of the Arabic language, it primarily serves to represent the sounds and words in written form. The Arabic script is a right-to-left writing system, which distinguishes it from Latin scripts that are typically read from left to right. The Arabic Letter Tah with Three Dots Above (عُ) derives its origin from the Arabo-Persian tradition of scriptwriting and has been used in various Middle Eastern regions over centuries. The three dots above the letter indicate a change in the pronunciation or meaning of the base letter, just like other diacritics within the Arabic script system. It is noteworthy that this character, along with other Arabic letters and symbols, has been standardized in Unicode to ensure accurate representation and compatibility across different software platforms and digital devices, thus promoting global accessibility and communication.

How to type the ڟ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1695 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ڟ has the Unicode code point U+069F. 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+069F to binary: 00000110 10011111. 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:
