Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٍ has the Unicode code point U+064D. 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+064D to binary:
00000110 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+064D, Arabic Kasrattan (اكسرة), is a key element in the Arabic script system. It is commonly used in digital text to represent the phoneme /k/, an important consonantal sound in the Arabic language. The Arabic alphabet is abjad, meaning it primarily represents consonants and does not include vowels. However, U+064D is part of a group of characters that contribute to the full representation of words by indicating the short vowel /a/ when placed above or below other letters, enabling more accurate communication in written Arabic. This character holds significance in both linguistic and cultural contexts, as it plays an essential role in preserving the accuracy and meaning of Arabic language texts.
