Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣐ has the Unicode code point U+08D0. 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+08D0 to binary:
00001000 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+08D0, also known as Arabic Sukun Below, is a character used primarily in the Arabic script for digital text representation. In its typical usage, it serves to denote the absence of sukun, which is an indicator of vowel length or absence in Arabic language. This distinctive character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity within written Arabic texts. The use of U+08D0 helps convey subtle nuances of vowel length and pronunciation, enabling readers to accurately interpret the intended meaning of the text. Due to its significance in the Arabic language, U+08D0 is indispensable for proper typography and accurate representation of spoken Arabic dialects in digital formats.
