Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣼ has the Unicode code point U+08FC. 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+08FC to binary:
00001000 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+08FC, also known as the Arabic Double Right Arrowhead Above with Dot, is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text for Arabic script. This character, as its name suggests, consists of an arrowhead above two vertical lines and a dot, which is often used to represent a double right-pointing arrow. In Arabic typography, this symbol might be employed to emphasize a particular direction or to draw attention to specific elements in the text. It may also serve as a visual cue for readers, helping them navigate through complex passages of text that require careful reading and interpretation. Given its unique appearance and function, the U+08FC character adds distinctiveness and flair to digital Arabic texts, enhancing their overall aesthetic and readability. However, it's important to note that this character is culturally specific and primarily used in Arabic typography, making it a less universally recognized symbol outside of its intended context.
