Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣠ has the Unicode code point U+08E0. 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+08E0 to binary:
00001000 11100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+08E0, also known as the Arabic Small High Footnote Marker, serves a crucial function in digital texts by facilitating cross-referencing and footnoting within Arabic script documents. Its primary role is to indicate a superscripted number or letter, typically used in scholarly works, scientific publications, and legal documents that require citation or annotation of references within the Arabic language. In its typographic form, it appears as a small, high-placed marker resembling a superscript letter "h" or a number. The Arabic Small High Footnote Marker is crucial in maintaining consistency and clarity in referencing systems used in various contexts across different cultures. By employing this character, users ensure accuracy and avoid confusion when citing sources or providing supplementary information within Arabic documents.
