Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0891. 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+0891 to binary:
00001000 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+0891 is designated as the Arabic Piastre Mark Above (عبرية الجنيه). This glyph primarily serves in digital text to represent a specific diacritical mark used in the Arabic script. It is placed above the main text, usually indicating a certain pronunciation or phonetic stress. U+0891 plays an important role in written Arabic, as it helps differentiate between similar-sounding words, assisting both native speakers and those learning the language. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A (U+0600–U+06FF) block of Unicode characters, which are primarily used for text rendering purposes in Arabic typography. It is crucial to ensure its accurate use and representation in digital texts, as it contributes significantly to the linguistic integrity and readability of the text for Arabic speakers.
