Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣩ has the Unicode code point U+08E9. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+08E9 to binary:
00001000 11101001. Those are the payload bits.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 10100011 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+08E9, known as Arabic Curly Kasrata, is a special glyph used predominantly within the Arabic script system. In its typical usage, it serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the specific consonantal sound of 'k' with a curl in the middle, making it distinct from other similar-looking characters in the Arabic script. The Arabic Curly Kasrata is significant not only for its linguistic role but also as part of a rich cultural history that spans across multiple centuries. It represents the evolution and refinement of the Arabic writing system, which has been an essential tool for communication, literature, and religious texts in the Arabic-speaking world. Its presence in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately represent this particular sound and contribute to a more inclusive and diverse representation of languages online.
