Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡲ has the Unicode code point U+0872. 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+0872 to binary:
00001000 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+0872 is the Unicode code point for the Arabic Letter Alef with Right Middle Stroke (Arabic: أَ). This character is a variation of the basic Arabic letter Alef (U+0627), which represents the initial consonant sound 'a' or a glottal stop. The addition of the right middle stroke to the Alef symbol differentiates it from other similar symbols in the Arabic script and helps maintain its distinct identity within digital text. Typically used in written forms of Modern Standard Arabic, this letter is part of the Arabic alphabet that has been widely adopted for various languages and dialects across the Middle East and North Africa. The Arabic script is a right-to-left writing system, meaning it's read from right to left, and U+0872 adheres to this orientation when used in digital text. Alef with Right Middle Stroke plays an essential role in transcribing phonetic sounds accurately and facilitating communication within the Arabic-speaking world. Its usage is rooted in both cultural and linguistic contexts, where it's vital for maintaining consistency and clarity when translating texts from one dialect or language to another. The accurate representation of U+0872 in digital text ensures that the richness of the Arabic language is preserved and understood across various platforms and applications.
