Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۻ has the Unicode code point U+06FB. 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+06FB to binary:
00000110 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+06FB Arabic Letter Dad With Dot Below is a Unicode character that plays a crucial role in digital text representation, particularly in the Arabic language. It is used to denote the 'dad' sound, which is a voiced dental fricative, and can be found in many Arabic words. This specific character has a dot below it, signifying a diacritical mark that is common in various Arabic scripts. The presence of this dot distinguishes it from other similar Arabic characters like Alef (U+0627) or Lam (U+0644). It's important to use the correct character in digital texts to maintain the accuracy and clarity of communication in languages that utilize the Arabic script. The use of these characters is deeply rooted in the rich history and linguistic nuances of the Arab world, further highlighting their significance in digital text representation.
