Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڄ has the Unicode code point U+0684. 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+0684 to binary:
00000110 10000100
. 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
U+0684, the Arabic Letter Dyeh, is a crucial component of the Arabic script used to represent various sounds in the Arabic language. In digital text, it serves as an essential building block for creating words and phrases by combining with other Arabic characters. As part of the widely spoken and written Arabic language, it plays a significant role in various domains including literature, religious texts, scientific writings, and day-to-day communication. The character's presence in the Unicode standard ensures its accurate representation across different digital platforms and systems. U+0684 is also vital for the proper functioning of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which relies on its precise coding to correctly identify and interpret Arabic text.
