Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character د has the Unicode code point U+062F. 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+062F to binary:
00000110 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+062F, known as the Arabic Letter Dal (د), plays a significant role in digital texts that utilize the Arabic script. It is one of the 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet and represents a consonant that can be combined with other characters to form words. In its isolated form, it has an open, round shape with three vertical strokes extending from the top of the character to the bottom. This letter is used primarily within the Arabic language and its dialects, which are spoken by hundreds of millions of people across the Middle East, North Africa, and other regions where Arabic is widely used. It has both cultural and linguistic significance, as it is one of the essential building blocks for constructing words in Arabic texts. The character U+062F is an integral part of the Arabic typography system, which follows a unique set of rules to maintain its aesthetic and functional properties when rendered in digital or printed form. This includes various contextual forms that the letter assumes depending on its position within a word or sentence, such as being isolated, initial, medial, or final. The accurate representation of U+062F in digital text is essential for preserving the integrity of the Arabic language and ensuring proper communication and understanding among its speakers.
