Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݻ has the Unicode code point U+077B. 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+077B to binary:
00000111 01111011
. 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 Unicode character U+077B is known as the "ARABIC LETTER YEH BARREE WITH EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT THREE ABOVE". This character plays a significant role in digital text, specifically in Arabic typography. It is an extension of the Arabic script and can be found within texts that employ extended Arabic-Indic numerals. The digit '3' is placed above the Arabic letter Yeh Baree, thereby modifying its appearance. This character has its roots deeply ingrained in the cultural and linguistic contexts of Arabic speaking regions, where it is used extensively. Its primary technical purpose is to represent numbers using an extended form of Arabic numerals, providing a visual cue for readers accustomed to this style of numeral representation.
