Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣕ has the Unicode code point U+08D5. 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+08D5 to binary:
00001000 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+08D5 represents the Arabic Small High Sad (أَ), a letter from the Arabic script used in various languages across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. In digital text, this character serves its primary function as part of the Arabic language, where it is commonly used to write words or phrases. It is one of the 28 letters of the basic Arabic alphabet, representing a consonant with a diacritical mark indicating a high vowel sound, specifically 'a'. The character's role in linguistic context is crucial as it helps to distinguish between different words and meanings when used in conjunction with other Arabic characters. In technical terms, U+08D5 belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms block of Unicode, which provides a range of characters for representing Arabic text with different vowelization marks and diacritics.
