Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ب has the Unicode code point U+0628. 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+0628 to binary:
00000110 00101000. 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:
11011000 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0628 represents the Arabic letter 'Beh' (ب) in the Arabic script. This letter is essential for digital text in languages such as Arabic, Urdu, and Persian that use the Arabic script. In its typical usage, U+0628 appears in various fonts and typefaces to maintain consistency in written communication across different platforms and devices. The Arabic script is an abjad, which means it consists of letters representing consonants only, with vowel marks added above or below the consonantal characters to form words. U+0628 can be combined with other Arabic characters to form a wide range of words and phrases in these languages, reflecting their rich linguistic and cultural heritage. It's important to note that the correct rendering and display of U+0628 in digital text depends on appropriate font support, which is crucial for accurate communication and representation across diverse communities that rely on this character set.
