Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡱ has the Unicode code point U+0871. 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+0871 to binary:
00001000 01110001. 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 10110001

Description
The character U+0871, or ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH ATTACHED TOP RIGHT FATHA, is an important symbol in Arabic typography and digital text. It represents the initial consonant in several Arabic words, and its presence serves to distinguish it from other letters, such as Alif or Alef with different diacritical marks. This particular letter features a special diacritical mark called Fatha, which indicates a short vowel sound "a" in the word. This character is essential for accurate representation of Arabic text in digital platforms and helps maintain the linguistic integrity of written communication. The Fatha mark on Alef is culturally significant as it indicates an important aspect of Arabic phonetics, which heavily rely on diacritical marks to convey meaning. In terms of technical context, ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH ATTACHED TOP RIGHT FATHA is a Unicode character that ensures proper encoding and display in digital systems, contributing to the standardization of Arabic typography worldwide.
