Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۫ has the Unicode code point U+06EB. 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+06EB to binary:
00000110 11101011. 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:
11011011 10101011

Description
The character U+06EB (ARABIC EMPTY CENTRE HIGH STOP) is a crucial element in the Arabic typography system. It is an essential punctuation mark used in the Arabic language to separate sentences, phrases, and clauses. Its role is similar to that of a period or full stop in the Latin alphabet. However, unlike the traditional Western punctuation marks, U+06EB has a unique appearance that is consistent with the aesthetic principles of Arabic typography, enhancing readability and comprehension for native speakers. In digital text, the ARABIC EMPTY CENTRE HIGH STOP is typically used in word processing software, content management systems, and any other applications where Arabic language is supported. The character plays a vital role in ensuring accurate communication of meaning in the Arabic language, as it helps to differentiate between sentences and ideas, making it easier for readers to understand the text's structure and intent.
