Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡼ has the Unicode code point U+087C. 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+087C to binary:
00001000 01111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+087C (ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH RIGHT MIDDLE STROKE AND DOT ABOVE) is a unique character in the Arabic script, playing a significant role in digital text representation of the Arabic language. This Unicode character specifically combines two distinct features: an Alef, which is the first letter in the Arabic alphabet and serves as a consonant representing the sound 'a,' and a right middle stroke with a dot above it. Its typical usage is found in words where the Alef's shape needs to be altered for proper pronunciation or to distinguish between similar-sounding letters, as well as in instances where the additional stroke or dot above the letter is necessary for clarity in written text. This character demonstrates the richness and complexity of the Arabic script, which has evolved over centuries to include numerous variations and adaptations to facilitate communication in different linguistic contexts.
