Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڂ has the Unicode code point U+0682. 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+0682 to binary:
00000110 10000010
. 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+0682, the Arabic Letter Hah with Two Dots Vertical Above, is a unique character within the Arabic script used in digital text. In typography, this character holds significant linguistic importance as it serves to represent the phoneme /h/ in various regional dialects of Modern Standard Arabic and some other languages that use the Arabic script. The two dots placed vertically above the Hah accentuate its pronunciation and distinguish it from similar letters within the script. The Arabic script, which includes U+0682, is used by millions of speakers across multiple regions, including the Middle East, North Africa, and other Arabic-speaking communities worldwide. As a result, the correct usage and representation of this character in digital text are crucial for accurate communication and understanding among these diverse populations. In terms of technical context, U+0682 is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code point for every character, symbol, or glyph across all written languages. This standardization ensures consistent rendering and interpretation of text across different digital platforms and applications, promoting inclusivity and accessibility in global communication.
