Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۮ has the Unicode code point U+06EE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+06EE to binary:
00000110 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
U+06EE is an Arabic letter known as "DAL with Inverted V". It is a character from the Arabic script that primarily serves a role in digital text representation of the Arabic language. This character represents the consonantal sound /dˤ/ in the Arabic alphabet and is used for constructing words according to the rules of the Arabic language. The term "inverted V" refers to the unique shape of this letter, as it features an inverted V-shaped stroke on its right side, distinguishing it from other Arabic letters such as DAL with vertical or horizontal strokes. This distinct design element plays a vital role in the readability and comprehension of text in languages using the Arabic script. The U+06EE character is utilized extensively in various digital platforms, including websites, documents, and software applications that require support for the Arabic language. It is essential to accurately represent this character in digital contexts to ensure proper communication and understanding among Arabic-speaking users.
