Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣂ has the Unicode code point U+08C2. 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+08C2 to binary:
00001000 11000010
. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+08C2, Arabic Letter KEHEH WITH SMALL V (لِقَ), is a unique character in the Arabic script, playing a crucial role in digital text for users of languages that utilize this script. In Arabic typography, it is used to represent a specific letter combination where "keheh" (ل) is followed by a small vowel (و). This combination contributes significantly to the accurate representation and transmission of the Arabic language in digital platforms, enabling proper communication and understanding among Arabic speakers worldwide. U+08C2's inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates the comprehensive nature of this widely-adopted encoding system, which supports a vast array of languages and scripts, ensuring that the rich cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts of these languages are preserved and accessible.
