Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0897. 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+0897 to binary:
00001000 10010111
. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+0897, known as the Arabic PePeT, is a typographical element specific to the Arabic script. It is primarily utilized in digital text for its role as a diacritical mark, which is an indicator of a vowel or change in pronunciation. In the context of Arabic, diacritical marks are crucial for accurately conveying the intended meaning of words and phrases. While not as widely used as other Arabic script characters, U+0897 has cultural significance in certain linguistic regions where it is employed to distinguish specific pronunciations and nuances in the Arabic language. The accurate representation of this character in digital text is crucial for maintaining the integrity of written communication in these regions.
