Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ِ has the Unicode code point U+0650. 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+0650 to binary:
00000110 01010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Arabic Kasra character (U+0650) is a crucial element in the Arabic writing system, playing a significant role in shaping the pronunciation and meaning of words in the language. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark that distinguishes between vowels and consonants, enabling accurate interpretation of the written word. The character is also instrumental in representing certain specific Arabic sounds, such as the sound "e" or "i," depending on its position within a word. Furthermore, the use of the Arabic Kasra reflects the rich cultural history and linguistic intricacies of the Arabic language, which has been used for centuries to transcribe religious texts, poetry, and literature. As an integral part of this tradition, the character contributes to the overall readability and expressiveness of the text, highlighting the importance of diacritics in written languages.
