Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٔ has the Unicode code point U+0654. 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+0654 to binary:
00000110 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0654 represents the Arabic Hamza Above (AHAB), which is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script. In digital text, it serves as an indicator of the glottal stop sound or a short pause in speech. It appears above the base letter to signify various linguistic features such as vowelization and pronunciation guidance. The Hamza Above is used across many Middle Eastern languages that employ the Arabic script, including Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Kurdish. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation and interchangeability of text among different platforms, software, and devices. Due to its cultural significance, the AHAB is an essential component for accurate typography and correct rendering of text in languages that utilize it.
