Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٗ has the Unicode code point U+0657. 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+0657 to binary:
00000110 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+0657 ARABIC INVERTED DAMMA is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard, playing a crucial role in digital Arabic text. It is an important element in the Arabic script system, where it typically functions as a diacritical mark or a letter variant. The character is used to represent the inverse of Damma (Arabic: ض), a separate Arabic letter that looks like the English "D" with a dot in the center. In digital typography, U+0657 serves to accurately reproduce the inverted shape of the Damma letter when needed for text formatting or typesetting purposes. It is commonly employed in linguistic and cultural contexts where the Arabic language is predominant, such as in the Middle East, North Africa, and many other regions with significant Arabic-speaking populations. U+0657 ARABIC INVERTED DAMMA ensures that digital texts remain accurate and culturally appropriate representations of their printed counterparts.
