Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؍ has the Unicode code point U+060D. 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+060D to binary:
00000110 00001101. 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:
11011000 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+060D, known as the Arabic Date Separator, plays a vital role in digital text by facilitating the accurate representation of dates in the Arabic script. This character is used to separate day, month, and year components when writing dates in Arabic, enabling clear and precise communication of date information. The Arabic Date Separator serves as an essential tool for digital texts that require accurate representation of dates, particularly within applications, documents, and websites catering to Arabic-speaking users. Its usage not only aids in readability but also ensures the correct interpretation of dates, thus preventing potential misunderstandings or errors arising from date misrepresentation.
