Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݞ has the Unicode code point U+075E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+075E to binary:
00000111 01011110
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+075E, Arabic Letter Ain with Three Dots Pointing Downwards Above, plays a significant role in digital text for representing the Arabic language. In typography, it is used to represent the letter 'AIN' which has three dots pointing downwards above the main character. This character holds cultural and linguistic importance as it allows speakers of the Arabic language to express their thoughts, ideas, and sentiments accurately in written form. The Arabic script, in general, is written from right to left, and U+075E follows this directionality. In technical terms, U+075E is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block within the Unicode Standard, which includes a wide range of characters designed to represent various aspects of the Arabic script in digital text.
