0x0600

0x0600 is a hexadecimal value that commonly denotes the Unicode code point U+0600. In Unicode, U+0600 is the first code point in the Arabic block and is officially named ARABIC NUMBER SIGN. The character is rarely used in modern Arabic text and is primarily of interest to scholars, software developers, and font designers working with historic or specialized material.

U+0600 has a standard UTF-8 encoding of the two-byte sequence 0xD8 0x80. In UTF-16, it is encoded as 0x0600. In HTML and other markup systems, it can be referenced with the numeric character reference ؀ or decimal ؀.

Rendering of U+0600 depends on font support; some fonts include a dedicated glyph, while others may render a placeholder or a generic symbol. Because of its rarity, many contemporary fonts omit a distinct ARABIC NUMBER SIGN glyph.

While the code point is defined in the Unicode standard and is assignable, it does not play a major role in daily Arabic typography and is encountered primarily in scholarly texts, encoding tests, or during low-level text processing.
