Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࣮ has the Unicode code point U+08EE. 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+08EE to binary:
00001000 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+08EE is the Unicode code point for the "ARABIC TONE TWO DOTS BELOW" character. This typographic symbol plays a significant role in digital Arabic text, specifically in the modern standard Arabic script used in various languages such as Arabic, Pashto, and Urdu. Its primary function is to mark the second tone in a three-tone system for diacritical marks that modify the pronunciation of Arabic consonants. In digital text, it allows for accurate representation and correct rendering of classical Arabic literature and religious texts, which often employ these tone marks to denote changes in vowel sounds. The character is an essential part of text processing systems used for Arabic languages, ensuring proper linguistic and cultural context is maintained in digital documents.
