Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢞ has the Unicode code point U+089E. 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+089E to binary:
00001000 10011110
. 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 10100010 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+089E represents the Arabic Doubled Madda (ع). In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in the Arabic script, where it is used to double the effect of the adjacent letter's madda, which refers to the diacritical marking denoting vowel sounds. This doubling can alter the pronunciation or accentuation of a word, making it essential for accurate communication in Arabic language. The Unicode standard, which includes this character, is widely used across different platforms and programming languages, ensuring consistent representation of text across various digital mediums. As part of the rich Arabic script tradition, U+089E has significant cultural and linguistic importance in the Arab world.
