The Unicode character U+06F6 is known as EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT SIX, which serves a significant role in digital text, especially within the Arabic-Indic numeral system. This digit is frequently used for representing the numerical value of six in this numerology, and is indispensable in contexts such as mathematics, accounting, and data processing where precise numerical representation is crucial. The character's usage extends beyond mere numerals; it is also found in various linguistic applications like in words that contain numbers or are related to mathematical concepts. The character's technical context lies within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for each character across different languages, ensuring accurate representation and handling of text across different platforms.

How to type the ۶ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1782 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ۶ has the Unicode code point U+06F6. 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+06F6 to binary: 00000110 11110110. 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:
