Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࢚ has the Unicode code point U+089A. 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+089A to binary:
00001000 10011010
. 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 10011010

Description
U+089A is the Unicode character code for Arabic Small Low Word Imaala (الإِمَائَة). This character is used in digital text to represent a specific vowel marking system in the Arabic script, called Imaala. The Arabic language has several vowel systems to aid pronunciation and clarity, and Imaala is one of these systems. U+089A is primarily employed in the context of written Arabic to denote the pronunciation of words in a specific dialect or to disambiguate between homophones in text form. The use of this character reflects linguistic nuances and cultural variations, enabling readers to accurately interpret and understand the intended meaning of the text. In terms of typography, U+089A is crucial for maintaining the integrity and legibility of Arabic text across digital platforms and software applications that support Unicode encoding.
