Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۂ has the Unicode code point U+06C2. 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+06C2 to binary:
00000110 11000010
. 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+06C2 (ARABIC LETTER HEH GOAL WITH HAMZA ABOVE) is a character from the Arabic script, specifically used in digital text. In its typical usage, it serves as a fundamental building block within the Arabic language and helps convey various meanings depending on its placement in a word. This particular character stands out due to the diacritical mark above it: the Hamza, which is indicative of an unvoiced pharyngeal fricative sound. As with other characters from the Arabic script, U+06C2 plays a crucial role in transmitting the linguistic nuances and cultural contexts that are unique to the Arabic language. This character is part of the Unicode standard (Unicode 1.0), a system designed to represent and encode all known characters and symbols for textual data processing, making it an essential element within the realm of digital typography.
