Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۪ has the Unicode code point U+06EA. 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+06EA to binary:
00000110 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+06EA, known as the Arabic Empty Centre Low Stop, plays a significant role in digital typography for Arabic text. In its typical usage, this character is employed within the context of Arabic script to indicate the ending of a sentence or a pause in a larger text. Its specific function is to signify that the preceding text has come to an end and to provide visual separation from any subsequent sentences or paragraphs. This character holds great importance in written Arabic language, as proper punctuation helps maintain the overall structure and readability of texts. The Unicode Standard ensures that each character, including U+06EA, is assigned a unique code point, thereby facilitating accurate representation of text across various digital platforms and software applications. As such, U+06EA contributes to the smooth functioning of Arabic text encoding and display in the digital realm.
