Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ە has the Unicode code point U+06D5. 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+06D5 to binary:
00000110 11010101. 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:
11011011 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+06D5 is an Arabic letter called "ALEF WITH HAMZA ABOVE," also known as the Arabic letter AE. In digital text, this character plays a vital role in representing the Arabic language, which is spoken by more than 423 million people worldwide. The Arabic script, like other Abjad scripts, is an abugida system where letters represent both consonants and vowels. In the Arabic script, ALEF WITH HAMZA ABOVE represents a distinct sound in the Arabic language that is neither the sound of ALEF (U+0627) alone nor the sound of HAMZA (U+0621) alone, but rather a unique combination of these sounds. The character is particularly significant in the Quran and other classical Arabic texts, where it is often used as part of the orthography for specific words or names. U+06D5 ALEF WITH HAMZA ABOVE is an essential component of the Arabic language's rich linguistic heritage and remains a crucial element in digital communication and text processing systems that handle Arabic script.
