Description

The Unicode character U+0B98 is known as the Arabic Letter Heh. In its typographic representation, it appears as ه. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in Arabic language systems where it is commonly used. It is one of 28 letters that form the basic building blocks of the Arabic script. The Arabic alphabet has both a root and a variety of forms for each letter depending on its position within a word or sentence, which can be reflected by other Unicode characters in certain contexts. U+0B98 is notable for being an important component in the digital representation of the Arabic language, as it helps to maintain linguistic accuracy and facilitate communication among Arabic speakers globally.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2968 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+0B98. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0B98 to binary: 00001011 10011000. 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:
    11100000 10101110 10011000
