Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢀ has the Unicode code point U+0880. 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+0880 to binary:
00001000 10000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0880 is known as the "Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Bottom Right Kasra and Left Ring." In digital text, it serves as a specific glyph in the Arabic script, representing the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. It plays a crucial role in both written and digital communication, particularly within the Arabic language and its dialects. The Arabic script is one of the world's oldest writing systems, with origins dating back over 1,400 years, which makes U+0880 an important element in maintaining linguistic traditions and cultural heritage. Additionally, it is part of a larger system of Unicode characters that facilitate accurate and consistent representation of text across different platforms and devices, contributing to the globalization and standardization of digital communication.
