Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣭ has the Unicode code point U+08ED. 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+08ED to binary:
00001000 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+08ED, known as the Arabic Tone One Dot Below, plays a crucial role in digital text by facilitating proper pronunciation guidance for the Arabic language. This specific character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms (ArabicPresentationForms-A) block, which includes various diacritics and presentation forms used to mark vowel sounds, tone variations, and other phonetic aspects in Arabic text. The U+08ED character is primarily employed to indicate a specific pitch or tone for a particular word or syllable within an Arabic text, thus helping readers accurately pronounce and comprehend the written content. Its cultural significance lies in its ability to provide linguistic nuances essential for clear communication in Arabic-speaking regions, where intonation and tone can significantly influence the meaning of a sentence or phrase. In summary, U+08ED serves as an indispensable tool for digital text rendering accurate pronunciation cues and proper phonetic representation in the Arabic language.
