Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݒ has the Unicode code point U+0752. 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+0752 to binary:
00000111 01010010
. 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+0752, the Arabic Letter Beh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below, is a distinct character in the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the representation of text in digital systems across various languages worldwide. In the context of the Arabic script, this letter is used to represent the consonantal sound "b" or "p". The specific diacritical marks, represented by three dots pointing upwards below the base character, indicate a long vowel "ū" in some Arabic dialects and transcription systems. This character holds significant importance in digital text as it enables accurate representation of the spoken language, particularly in linguistic research, translation, and information exchange across different regions where Arabic is spoken. The precise placement of diacritical marks like U+0752 is crucial for understanding and interpreting Arabic script correctly due to its complexity and directionality.
