Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؆ has the Unicode code point U+0606. 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+0606 to binary:
00000110 00000110. 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:

Description
The character U+0606 is an Arabic-Indic Cube Root symbol (‘↪’) used to represent the cube root operation in digital text. Its role in typography is significant as it simplifies mathematical calculations, particularly those involving cubic roots. This Unicode character is essential for accurate communication in various scientific and technical fields that require mathematical expressions. The Arabic-Indic script from which this symbol is derived has a long history dating back to the early centuries of Islam when Arab mathematicians, astronomers, and scholars made significant advancements in mathematics, astronomy, and other sciences. Despite its origin, U+0606 is widely used across different languages and cultures due to Unicode's universal acceptance. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the cube root symbol can be displayed correctly on any device or software that supports Unicode.
