Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڀ has the Unicode code point U+0680. 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+0680 to binary:
00000110 10000000. 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:

Description
The character U+0680 is an Arabic letter known as Beh (ب) in the Arabic script. This glyph plays a significant role in digital text as it is widely used in various forms of communication, including written documents, websites, and software applications. Arabic is written from right to left, and the Beh is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, signifying its position as the starting point for new words. The Unicode character U+0680 accurately represents the Beh's unique shape and form, which includes a vertical stroke at the center with two horizontal strokes extending on both sides. This distinctive design enables proper rendering of Arabic text in digital environments. In addition to its technical aspects, the Beh holds cultural significance as it is used in various languages spoken by over 420 million people across the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting the rich linguistic heritage of the region.
