Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢁ has the Unicode code point U+0881. 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+0881 to binary:
00001000 10000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+0881 is the Unicode code point for the Arabic letter Alef with Attached Right Hamza (أَ). In digital text, this character serves a significant role in representing the Arabic language, which is spoken by more than 317 million people across various Middle Eastern and North African countries. The Arabic script, of which Alef is a part, belongs to the Abjad family of scripts that primarily use letters instead of alphanumeric symbols. The Arabic letter Alef with Attached Right Hamza (أَ) is characterized by its distinctive shape, with an extended right-hand leg that bears the hamza, a diacritical mark indicating a glottal stop or a pause in speech. This particular character is used to represent both the initial sound 'a' and the vowel sound 'a' in Arabic words. The presence of the attached hamza distinguishes this letter from other similar-looking letters in the script, such as Alef without Attached Right Hamza (أ). In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+0881 plays a crucial role in digital typography for Arabic text. Its accurate representation is essential for maintaining the integrity of written Arabic content across various platforms, such as websites, documents, and software applications. By ensuring the correct display of this character, users can easily read and understand the text in their preferred language, fostering effective communication and preserving cultural heritage.
