Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݫ has the Unicode code point U+076B. 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+076B to binary:
00000111 01101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+076B ARABIC LETTER REH WITH TWO DOTS VERTICALLY ABOVE is a typographic character in the Unicode Standard that represents a specific letter in the Arabic script system. In digital text, this character serves as a distinct glyph for representing the Arabic consonant "ره", which holds linguistic significance within the Arabic language. The vertical dots above the letter are known as diacritical marks and play an essential role in differentiating various forms of the same base letter with different pronunciations, in this case, "ر" (Reh) and "ره" (Reh with two dots vertically above). The character's usage is primarily confined to digital text, given the complexity of its form in the physical realm. There is no significant cultural or technical context associated with U+076B beyond its role as a specific Arabic letter variant within the broader Unicode system.
