Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݼ has the Unicode code point U+077C. 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+077C to binary:
00000111 01111100
. 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+077C is the Unicode code point for Arabic Letter Hah with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Four Below (ኄ). This character is a combination of two separate entities in the Unicode Standard, the Arabic letter Hah (U+063D) and the Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Four Below (U+077B). The digital text representation of this character is typically used in Arabic script for creating typographic variations or artistic designs. It does not hold any specific linguistic or cultural significance, but it showcases the flexibility and adaptability of the Arabic script when combined with numerals. The Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Four Below modifier can be applied to several other Arabic letters as well, highlighting the unique aspects of the Arabic script. This character is less common in everyday use but serves as an interesting example of how Unicode encourages a wide range of typographic possibilities and combinations within the same writing system.
