Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡻ has the Unicode code point U+087B. 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+087B to binary:
00001000 01111011
. 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 10111011

Description
U+087B, Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Top Right Fatha and Dot Above, is a vital character in the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in the digital representation of the Arabic language. This letter, when used in text, serves as the initial sound /ʔ/, which can be heard as a glottal stop or "uh" sound. The combination of fatha and dot above imparts specific phonetic and linguistic information to the word it is part of. In digital text, this character accurately conveys these nuances to readers and ensures proper communication across different platforms and devices. As Arabic is a widely spoken language with significant cultural and historical relevance, the precise representation of characters like U+087B in digital formats is crucial for maintaining the integrity of written expression in various fields such as literature, science, technology, and more.
