Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢈ has the Unicode code point U+0888. 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+0888 to binary:
00001000 10001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0888 represents the Arabic Raised Round Dot (ARRD). This character is commonly used in digital texts to denote a specific diacritical mark in the Arabic script system. It serves as an indicator of vowel sounds and helps to clarify the pronunciation of words in the Arabic language. The ARDD is one of many diacritical marks employed in Arabic typography, which also include Fatha (U+064E), Damm (U+064F), Kasra (U+0650), Sukun (U+0653), and Shadda (U+0651). These diacritical marks are essential for proper Arabic language representation and text comprehension. The accurate use of these characters in digital texts contributes to the preservation and promotion of Arabic culture, literature, and linguistic traditions.
