Description

U+06D1 Arabic Letter YeH with Three Dots Below is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in the Arabic script system. It is specifically used to represent the Arabic consonant "ي" (yeh) and is typically utilized in digital text, such as websites and documents, when working with Arabic languages. This character's presence of three dots below it differentiates it from other similar characters within the Arabic script. It is crucial to include this character accurately when dealing with typography and Unicode processing, as errors can lead to misinterpretation or mistranslation. The use of U+06D1 reflects the cultural richness and linguistic complexity inherent in the Arabic language and its writing system.

How to type the ۑ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1745 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ۑ has the Unicode code point U+06D1. 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+06D1 to binary: 00000110 11010001. 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:
