Description

U+0735, also known as SYRIAC ZQAPHA DOTTED, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, primarily used in digital text for representing the Syriac letter Qaḑā, or Qoph, in its dotted form. The Syriac script is a member of the Aramaic language family and has historical and cultural significance, as it was widely used in the writing of Old Testament texts and early Christian literature. Its usage extends to modern times in the Assyrian and Syriac communities for religious, cultural, and scholarly purposes. In digital text, U+0735 serves an important role in preserving and promoting the heritage of these languages, facilitating accurate representation and communication within and across different cultures and linguistic traditions.

How to type the ܵ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1845 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+0735. 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+0735 to binary: 00000111 00110101. 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:
