Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݵ has the Unicode code point U+0775. 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+0775 to binary:
00000111 01110101
. 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+0775, known as ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH WITH EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT TWO ABOVE, plays a crucial role in digital text for languages that use the Arabic script. This character is part of the Extended Arabic Presentation Forms-D (U+0750-077B) block, which introduces various diacritical marks and indicators above and below certain Arabic letters to help indicate phonological structures, provide additional grammatical information, or alter the base letter's form. Specifically, U+0775 is used in the Farsi language, a major member of the larger Iranian branch within the Indo-Iranian languages family. While primarily employed for display purposes and not typically utilized for typing or inputting text, this character serves as an essential tool for those working with digital typography for Arabic scripts. By incorporating U+0775 in their work, designers, developers, and linguists can help maintain the accuracy and clarity of written communication in these languages.
