Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؝ has the Unicode code point U+061D. 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+061D to binary:
00000110 00011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+061D is known as the Arabic End of Text Mark (Arabic: ). This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Arabic language. It signifies the end of a paragraph or section in an Arabic document and helps to distinguish between sentences and paragraphs. Its usage ensures clear communication and aids in the organization of text content. U+061D is essential for accurate text rendering on digital devices and helps maintain consistency across various platforms. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard, which is responsible for encoding characters for computer use, demonstrates its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance in the realm of Arabic typography.
