U08E9

U08E9 is a Unicode code point designated U+08E9. It resides in the Arabic Extended-A block, which ranges from U+08A0 to U+08FF. Characters in this block are intended to supplement the core Arabic alphabet and are used for extended Arabic scripts, including certain minority languages, scholarly transliterations, and historical texts. As a result, U+08E9 is not part of standard modern Arabic orthography, but it is included in the Unicode repertoire to enable representation of extended Arabic characters when needed.

Technical details about U+08E9 note that it can be encoded in UTF-8 as the byte sequence E0 A3 A9. In the Unicode Character Database, the character is associated with properties relevant to the Arabic script, including its right-to-left writing direction and its script classification. The exact name and formal properties of the character are defined in the official Unicode charts and data files.

Usage of the code point typically occurs in specialized contexts, such as digital archives, academic works dealing with extended Arabic scripts, or software that aims to support a wide range of Arabic characters beyond the standard set. In everyday typing and mainstream fonts, U+08E9 is rarely required, and many standard fonts may not render it without additional font support.
