Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character گ has the Unicode code point U+06AF. 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+06AF to binary:
00000110 10101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+06AF, known as the Arabic Letter Gaf, plays a vital role in digital text representation of the Arabic language. It is a part of the Arabic script, which is written from right to left and consists of 28 letters. In the Arabic writing system, each letter can have multiple forms based on its position within a word or sentence. U+06AF specifically represents the isolated form of the Arabic Letter Gaf, where it stands alone in a word or sentence. Arabic script is widely used across many countries and territories where Arabic is spoken, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, and more. The Arabic language has a significant cultural, linguistic, and technical context, as it is the fifth most spoken language in the world by the number of native speakers, with over 420 million people speaking it as their first or second language. It is also one of the six official languages used in the United Nations. In digital text, U+06AF contributes to accurate and meaningful representation of the Arabic language, enabling effective communication across the globe.
