Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡰ has the Unicode code point U+0870. 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+0870 to binary:
00001000 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0870, known as the Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Fatha, plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Arabic language. This character is primarily used to represent the initial consonant /ʔ/ (glottal stop) in the Arabic script. The Fatha mark above the alef signifies a long vowel sound 'a' or 'ah'. It is essential for accurate translation, as it impacts the pronunciation and meaning of words in the Arabic language. U+0870 is often utilized in digital communication, literature, and software applications that involve Arabic text to ensure proper phonetic representation and understanding. Its cultural significance lies in its usage in various dialects of Arabic spoken across the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting the rich linguistic heritage of these regions.
