Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڢ has the Unicode code point U+06A2. 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+06A2 to binary:
00000110 10100010
. 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+06A2 is a vital character in the Arabic script system, known as the ARABIC LETTER FEH WITH DOT MOVED BELOW. This specific letter, Feh (ف), is a consonant representing the voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound (ʕ) and holds significance in various Arabic dialects including Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). In digital text, it plays an essential role as a unique identifier in computer systems, helping to accurately render Arabic text for both human readers and automated systems. The dot moved below is a diacritical mark that gives the character its distinct visual appearance, allowing for easy differentiation from other Arabic letters with similar forms but without the dot. This character's inclusion and accurate representation in digital typography are crucial for preserving cultural identity and facilitating communication in Arabic-speaking communities worldwide.
