Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٌ has the Unicode code point U+064C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 thexare 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+064C to binary:
00000110 01001100. 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:
11011001 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+064C, known as ARABIC DAMMATAN, is a vital component of the Arabic script in digital text. As an essential letter in the Arabic alphabet, it serves as both a consonant and a radical in various words. In its role as a radical, it forms part of the structure of other Arabic letters, specifically those that begin with the "d" sound. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent the consonantal sound /d/, which contributes significantly to the richness of the Arabic language. ARABIC DAMMATAN is also used in various historical and classical texts, demonstrating its deep-rooted cultural and linguistic significance. Despite not being widely represented in the Latin alphabet, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of written Arabic, a script that has been in use for over 1,400 years. The character U+064C is an indispensable part of modern typography and digital text representation, ensuring the accurate conveyance of Arabic language across various platforms and devices.
