Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢰ has the Unicode code point U+08B0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+08B0 to binary:
00001000 10110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The character U+08B0 represents the Arabic letter "Gaf" with an inverted stroke. In its standard form, it appears as غ and is pronounced as /ɡaːf/ in Arabic. This unique alphabetical representation plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Arabic language. The inverted stroke distinguishes this character from the regular Arabic letter "Gaf" (U+0630), which appears as غ and is pronounced as /ɡaːf/. This distinctive feature enables accurate rendering and interpretation when utilized in various digital platforms, such as websites, software applications, and documents. The U+08B0 character is essential for maintaining cultural and linguistic accuracy across diverse Arabic-speaking communities worldwide.
