Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢲ has the Unicode code point U+08B2. 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+08B2 to binary:
00001000 10110010
. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+08B2 represents the Arabic letter 'Zain' with an Inverted V above (ARABIC LETTER ZAIN WITH INVERTED V ABOVE). This character is commonly used in digital text for rendering Arabic script, particularly within applications and systems that support the Arabic language. The Arabic script is written from right to left, and characters such as ARABIC LETTER ZAIN WITH INVERTED V ABOVE play a crucial role in expressing various linguistic aspects of the Arabic language. In the Arabic alphabet, each letter has its own distinct shape and may have different forms depending on its position within a word or phrase. The inclusion of U+08B2 in digital text allows for accurate and culturally appropriate representation of the Arabic script, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic integrity across various platforms and applications.
