Description

The Unicode character U+06E0, known as ARABIC SMALL HIGH UPRIGHT RECTANGULAR ZERO (ZERO SIGN), plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Arabic language. This particular symbol is used to represent the numerical value '0' within Arabic numerals, which are widely employed for counting and measurement purposes across various cultural and linguistic contexts. The character U+06E0 is part of the larger Arabic script block within the Unicode Standard, a system designed to ensure consistent encoding and representation of text across different devices and platforms. Its usage enables accurate communication in digital environments while preserving the unique aesthetic and style of the Arabic script.

How to type the ۠ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1760 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ۠ has the Unicode code point U+06E0. 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+06E0 to binary: 00000110 11100000. 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:
