Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݨ has the Unicode code point U+0768. 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+0768 to binary:
00000111 01101000
. 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:
11011101 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0768 is known as the Arabic Letter Noon with Small Tah (Arabic: نُ). In digital text, it represents a letter from the Arabic script, which is used in various Middle Eastern languages such as Modern Standard Arabic and several regional dialects. As one of the 28 basic letters in the Arabic alphabet, this character plays an essential role in forming other letters through diacritical marks and contributing to the formation of words. The Small Tah is a distinctive feature of the Noon letter, signifying the sound 'n' or 'ň', and differentiating it from other similar letters in the Arabic script. This character holds significant importance in the Arab world for its cultural, linguistic, and historical context, as Arabic literature, media, and communication rely heavily on this script for written expression.
