Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݑ has the Unicode code point U+0751. 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+0751 to binary:
00000111 01010001
. 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
U+0751 is a specific Unicode character known as the "ARABIC LETTER BEH WITH DOT BELOW AND THREE DOTS ABOVE." This character holds significance in digital text, particularly within Arabic language systems and applications. The Arabic script is a form of abjad, meaning that each character generally represents a consonant, as opposed to an alphabet where characters represent both vowels and consonants. In the context of the Arabic language, U+0751 plays a crucial role in representing the sound "b" or "v," depending on its position within a word. Culturally, the Arabic script is widely used across the Middle East and North Africa, as well as other regions where Arabic-speaking communities reside. With over 420 million speakers worldwide, this script is an essential aspect of communication, literature, and religion in these areas. Unicode, the encoding system that encompasses U+0751, aims to standardize text across platforms and languages, ensuring consistency and accessibility for all users. Technically, U+0751 adheres to the Unicode Standard, which is responsible for assigning unique numerical codes to characters from every written language globally. By using these codes, software developers can accurately render the correct glyphs on various devices and platforms, ensuring that digital text remains accurate and faithful to its intended representation. In summary, U+0751 serves as a vital component in the Arabic script by representing the consonants "b" or "v" with a dot below and three dots above. Its significance lies not only in the Arabic language but also in the broader context of digital text and communication. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+0751 contributes to the ongoing goal of accurate, accessible, and consistent text representation across platforms and languages.
