Description

The Unicode character U+065A represents the Arabic Vowel Sign Small Ya' (also known as the Arabic Vowel Sign SMALL YA'), which is an important element in the Arabic script. In digital text, this character serves to indicate a small ya' vowel above various Arabic letters, helping to clarify pronunciation and meaning. Its usage is crucial within the context of the Arabic language, as it helps readers accurately interpret written content. The Arabic script is a prominent example of an abjad writing system, in which consonantal letters represent both sounds and grammatical functions, with vowel marks like U+065A serving a complementary role to denote vowel sounds. While U+065A may seem like a minor detail, it plays a significant part in the accurate representation and understanding of written Arabic, reflecting the language's rich cultural and linguistic heritage.

How to type the ٚ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1626 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+065A. 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+065A to binary: 00000110 01011010. 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:
