Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڳ has the Unicode code point U+06B3. 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+06B3 to binary:
00000110 10110011
. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+06B3 represents the Arabic letter "GUEH" (ج), which holds a significant role in the Arabic language. This letter is primarily used in digital text for written communication, documentation, and various applications requiring the use of Arabic script. Its shape is derived from the historical development of Arabic calligraphy, specifically the Naskh script. The letter GUEH carries cultural importance as it represents key words, phrases, and concepts in Islamic literature, poetry, and other forms of traditional Arabic writing. In linguistic terms, it is a "fathatan" letter, meaning that it indicates a final short vowel when used in word formation. The accurate and precise usage of U+06B3 ensures the proper representation and interpretation of the Arabic language in digital text format, which is essential for global communication and understanding.
