Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݪ has the Unicode code point U+076A. 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+076A to binary:
00000111 01101010
. 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+076A, the Arabic Letter Lam with Bar (عشْر), is a unique character within the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text, particularly in the Arabic language. This letter represents the sound 'l' or 'L' in Arabic and is utilized frequently in various written forms of the language. Typically used in the Arabic script, it exhibits a distinctive style characterized by its vertical stroke through the center of the character, distinguishing it from other Arabic letters. The Arabic script, which includes U+076A, is an abjad, meaning that only consonants are represented and vowels are typically added as diacritics. This characteristic of the Arabic script highlights the role of U+076A in contributing to the rich linguistic diversity of the Arab world. In digital text and typography, accurate rendering and support for U+076A are crucial to ensuring accurate representation and communication across different platforms and devices.
