Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣫ has the Unicode code point U+08EB. 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+08EB to binary:
00001000 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+08EB, or Arabic tone two dots above, is a unique character within the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in the Arabic language. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role as it denotes the second of three possible tones in Arabic language. The presence of these dots indicates a change in tone or pitch in the spoken Arabic language, which is important for both native and non-native speakers to accurately interpret the intended pronunciation of words. This character, along with other similar tone indicators, is essential in preserving the linguistic integrity and nuances of the Arabic language within digital communication and text. The use of U+08EB ensures that written Arabic retains its cultural and historical context, aiding in the transmission of accurate information across various platforms and devices.
