Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣃ has the Unicode code point U+08C3. 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+08C3 to binary:
00001000 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+08C3, known as the "ARABIC LETTER GHAIN WITH THREE DOTS ABOVE," holds a significant position in Arabic typography. This particular character is often utilized in digital text to represent the Arabic letter Ghain (غ). In the Arabic script system, each letter carries intrinsic phonetic and semantic values. The Ghain represents a voiced palatal postalveolar fricative sound, pronounced as /ʒ/. The three dots above the Ghain are an integral part of the character, serving to distinguish it from other Arabic letters. In many Arabic writing systems, diacritical marks are used to provide additional information about the pronunciation or grammatical function of a letter within a word. These include, but are not limited to, vowel marks and various types of dots, like those seen in U+08C3. The Arabic language is rich in its cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects, making the accurate representation of characters like U+08C3 crucial for maintaining the integrity of written text. The character plays a vital role in digital text, ensuring clarity and consistency across various platforms and applications, from word processors to websites and apps. This helps maintain the accuracy of Arabic language communication in our increasingly digital world.
