Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڥ has the Unicode code point U+06A5. 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+06A5 to binary:
00000110 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+06A5 ARABIC LETTER FEH WITH THREE DOTS BELOW is a character in the Arabic script used to represent the sound "f" in digital text. It is a variant of the Arabic letter Feh (F), which represents the voiceless pharyngeal fricative consonant sound. The three dots below the character indicate the position of the tongue and the airflow during the pronunciation of the sound. This specific character holds significance in Arabic typography, as it is used to differentiate between two similar but distinct sounds - "f" and "h". Its usage contributes to the richness and complexity of the Arabic language, which has a strong cultural and linguistic presence worldwide. The precise placement of dots below the character is critical in maintaining the legibility and readability of Arabic text, highlighting the importance of typography and design in digital text representation for this script.
