Description

The Unicode character U+06C8 represents the Arabic letter "يو" (Yū), which is a consonant in the Arabic script. It is a part of the larger Arabic writing system, which has been in use for over 1,400 years. In digital text, U+06C8 serves as a unique identifier that helps computer systems differentiate between various characters and accurately render text in the Arabic language. Arabic script is a right-to-left (RTL) writing system, which means that when using U+06C8, it should be placed later than other characters in a sequence to ensure correct rendering. This letter specifically represents a voiced pharyngeal fricative sound and is essential for proper pronunciation of words containing the "يو" (Yū) character. The Arabic script's rich history and cultural significance make U+06C8 an important element in maintaining linguistic integrity across various digital platforms and applications.

How to type the ۈ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1736 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ۈ has the Unicode code point U+06C8. 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+06C8 to binary: 00000110 11001000. 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:
