Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؇ has the Unicode code point U+0607. 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+0607 to binary:
00000110 00000111
. 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
U+0607 ARABIC-INDIC FOURTH ROOT is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use within digital text. In its typical usage, it serves as a mathematical symbol in the Arabic Indic numeral system, representing the fourth root of a number. This character plays a vital role in various scientific and mathematical contexts, particularly in regions where Arabic is predominantly spoken or written. The character's cultural significance lies in its connection to the Arabic-Indic numeral system, which was introduced by the Indian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi in the 9th century. This system has since become widely adopted and has greatly influenced modern numbering systems globally. As a result, U+0607 is used across multiple languages and cultures, contributing to the exchange of knowledge and fostering intellectual collaboration throughout history. Technically, U+0607 ARABIC-INDIC FOURTH ROOT is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms block within the Unicode Standard, which encompasses a range of characters used for rendering Arabic text with various presentation forms and shaping rules. This character's proper representation depends on the correct application of these shaping rules, ensuring accurate and visually appealing typography in digital text.
