Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݖ has the Unicode code point U+0756. 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+0756 to binary:
00000111 01010110
. 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+0756 is known as the Arabic Letter Beh with Small V (شباب). In the realm of digital text, it serves a significant role in representing the Arabic script accurately for applications such as word processors and websites. This particular character is used within the Arabic writing system, which is predominantly employed across the Middle East and North Africa. The small v-shaped line in the letter enhances its visual appearance and distinguishes it from similar Arabic letters. Due to the cultural and linguistic importance of the Arabic script, accurate representation of characters like U+0756 becomes crucial for digital platforms to ensure proper communication and understanding among users who speak or read Arabic.
