U06F1

U+06F1 is the Unicode code point designated for the Arabic-Indic digit one. Its formal character name is ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ONE. The code point lies in the Arabic script range (U+0600–U+06FF) and is part of the Extended Arabic-Indic digits used in languages that employ Eastern Arabic numerals, such as Persian and Urdu.

In most typefaces, U+06F1 renders as the Persian/Urdu numeral 1, appearing as the glyph ۱. It is used in text that requires non-Western numerals, particularly in Persian (Farsi) and Urdu materials, and in contexts where traditional Arabic-Indic numerals are preferred for stylistic or cultural reasons. The digit is often displayed alongside other digits from the same numeral set, U+06F0–U+06F9, or with the broader range of Arabic-Indic digits.

Encoding and technical notes: U+06F1 can be encoded in UTF-16 as a single 16-bit unit (0x06F1) and in UTF-8 as a two-byte sequence. In Unicode, it is managed along with the other extended Arabic-Indic digits, and it can appear alongside Western digits in multilingual text. Its use is governed by the same rules that apply to numeric characters in bidirectional text, with the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm determining its placement relative to surrounding right-to-left script.
