Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡽ has the Unicode code point U+087D. 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+087D to binary:
00001000 01111101. 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 10100001 10111101

Description
U+087D (ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH ATTACHED BOTTOM RIGHT KASRA AND DOT ABOVE) is a crucial character in the Arabic script, playing an essential role in digital text representation. It primarily represents the initial consonant sound 'Alef' (ء), which is one of the 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. This specific character is unique because it features both an attached bottom right kasra (،) diacritical mark, which indicates a change in vowel pronunciation, and a dot above it (·). Its combination with these marks helps convey nuanced phonetic and grammatical information that is vital for accurate interpretation of Arabic text. U+087D contributes significantly to the richness of Arabic typography, and its precise usage showcases the intricate nature of the Arabic language's digital representation.
