Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character َ has the Unicode code point U+064E. 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+064E to binary:
00000110 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+064E, known as the Arabic Fatha (ف), plays a significant role in the representation of the Arabic script. In digital text, this character serves to indicate the modification of a base letter by placing a diacritical mark above it, altering its pronunciation and meaning. The Fatha, represented by a small vertical stroke under the base letter (in this case, ف), signifies a long vowel sound or change in the consonant's articulation. This character is essential for accurately transcribing and translating Arabic text, as it helps convey the correct pronunciation and meaning of words. U+064E is commonly used within the Arabic language, which is spoken by millions of people across various countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The accurate representation of this character and other Arabic characters is vital for maintaining linguistic and cultural accuracy in digital communication and media.
