Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڣ has the Unicode code point U+06A3. 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+06A3 to binary:
00000110 10100011. 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:
11011010 10100011

Description
U+06A3 Arabic Letter Feh with Dot Below is a crucial character in the Arabic script system, used extensively in digital texts for its specific phonetic value. It represents the consonantal sound /f/ in various regional dialects and languages that utilize the Arabic alphabet. This particular letter variation, which features a dot below the base form (Arabic Letter Feh - U+0645), is most commonly employed in modern standard Arabic and some Middle Eastern vernaculars. The addition of the dot below enhances the letter's legibility, particularly in handwritten text or when used in calligraphy styles, ensuring accurate comprehension by both native and non-native speakers. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard (Version 1.0) reflects the extensive global usage of Arabic script and its importance in the communication of various languages, cultures, and historical narratives.
