Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣙ has the Unicode code point U+08D9. 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+08D9 to binary:
00001000 11011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+08D9, Arabic Small Low Noon with Kasra, is a typographical element found within the Arabic script. It plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a modifier for other characters, specifically in conjunction with Arabic letters that represent consonants and vowels. The character is essential to accurately represent the nuances of the Arabic language, which relies heavily on diacritical marks to convey meaning. In particular, U+08D9 helps to differentiate between words or phrases that might otherwise be homophonic due to the similarities in pronunciation. By incorporating this character into digital text, users can ensure a high level of accuracy and clarity in the representation of Arabic language.
