Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢘ has the Unicode code point U+0898. 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+0898 to binary:
00001000 10011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The character U+0898, ARABIC SMALL HIGH WORD AL-JUZ, is an essential element in the Arabic script. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark used to modify the basic letters of the alphabet and can affect the sound or meaning of words. The Al-Juz symbol indicates a vowel sound, specifically the 'a' sound when added to certain consonants in Arabic words. This character is integral to the proper rendering and understanding of written Arabic in various languages like Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and other regional languages that use the Arabic script. Due to its role as a diacritical mark, it may not be visible or appear differently depending on the font used, but it plays a crucial part in the accurate transmission and comprehension of written content in these languages. It has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, as it helps maintain the continuity and correctness of oral and written traditions in these regions.
