Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢮ has the Unicode code point U+08AE. 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+08AE to binary:
00001000 10101110. 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 10100010 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+08AE, also known as ARABIC LETTER DAL WITH THREE DOTS BELOW, plays a vital role in the Arabic script. In digital text, this character represents the Arabic letter "د" (Dal) with three dots placed below it, indicating its position within the Arabic alphabet. This typographical element is significant as it helps differentiate the letter from others in written and digital communication. Arabic is a right-to-left language, and the addition of diacritical marks like the three dots below Dal serve to provide pronunciation guidance and enrich the linguistic context. These diacritics are essential for accurate reading and understanding of Arabic texts. The ARABIC LETTER DAL WITH THREE DOTS BELOW character contributes to maintaining the integrity and authenticity of written Arabic, reflecting its cultural and historical significance in digital format.
