Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣰ has the Unicode code point U+08F0. 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+08F0 to binary:
00001000 11110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+08F0 is known as the Arabic Open Fathatan (فَ). In digital text, it serves as a representative of the 13th letter in the Arabic alphabet. This character plays a crucial role in the Arabic language and its script, which is spoken by millions of people across various Middle Eastern and North African countries. The Open Fathatan differs from other similar letters due to its unique stroke structure, featuring two strokes that resemble a 'V' shape with one vertical line extending through the middle. This particular letter shape helps distinguish it from other Arabic characters when used in written or digital text. Its correct usage is vital for accurate communication and understanding of texts in Arabic language and culture. The Open Fathatan contributes significantly to the linguistic diversity and richness of the Arabic script, which has a long history dating back over 14 centuries.
