Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݘ has the Unicode code point U+0758. 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+0758 to binary:
00000111 01011000
. 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 character U+0758, known as "ARABIC LETTER HAH WITH THREE DOTS POINTING UPWARDS BELOW", is an essential element in the Arabic language's typography and digital text representation. This particular letter is a variant of the base Arabic letter Hah (ح), which holds the phonetic value /ħ/. The additional three dots pointing upwards below the letter distinguish it from other forms of the letter Hah, denoting specific linguistic or cultural nuances in written Arabic text. In digital texts and typography, U+0758 is a critical component for accurate representation of the Arabic language, enabling clear communication and preserving the intended meaning. Its precise use in various contexts reflects the importance of Unicode standards, which facilitate consistent and accurate encoding of text across multiple platforms and devices. The cultural significance of this character is intertwined with the broader history and development of the Arabic script, a writing system that has evolved over centuries to accommodate various linguistic requirements. The technical context surrounding U+0758 showcases the ongoing efforts within the Unicode Consortium to ensure comprehensive coverage of scripts from around the world, fostering effective communication and appreciation for diverse cultures and languages.
