Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡾ has the Unicode code point U+087E. 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+087E to binary:
00001000 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
U+087E, also known as Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Top Right Fatha and Left Ring, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent a specific letter in the Arabic alphabet. In the context of the Arabic language, this character serves as a representation of the consonant 'ع', which is known as Alef or Alif with a combination of two diacritics: Fatha (the attached top right mark) and Dammah (the attached left ring). The Fatha indicates a long vowel sound, specifically "a," while the Dammah denotes a guttural "d" sound. This character is essential in accurately transcribing Arabic text and maintaining its linguistic integrity. Its role in digital typography is crucial for preserving cultural nuances and facilitating accurate communication in both written and digital formats across various platforms.
