Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢍ has the Unicode code point U+088D. 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+088D to binary:
00001000 10001101. 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 10100010 10001101

Description
U+088D is an Arabic letter known as "Keheh," which is represented by the character کِ. In digital text, it is often used within the Arabic script, which is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The Keheh with two dots vertically below (U+088D) serves a specific linguistic role, acting as a diacritical mark that modifies the base character's pronunciation and meaning. In this case, it denotes a long 'e' sound, making it essential for accurate communication in Arabic. This character's usage is rooted in the rich cultural and linguistic history of the Arab world, where Arabic is an official language in 26 countries. It plays a crucial role in digital typography, ensuring that texts are displayed accurately on various platforms and devices, adhering to the Unicode Standard.
