Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٶ has the Unicode code point U+0676. 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+0676 to binary:
00000110 01110110. 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:
11011001 10110110

Description
U+0676 is the Unicode code point for ARABIC LETTER HIGH HAMZA WAW, a character in the Arabic script that plays a significant role in digital text. In the Arabic language, this letter is commonly used to represent both a consonant and vowel sound. The High Hamza Waw (U+0676) combines the high hamza (a glottal stop) diacritic with the waw (و) character, forming a single letter that denotes the pronunciation of a specific Arabic sound. In digital text, it allows for more accurate transliteration and transcription of words from Arabic to other languages, ensuring clear communication across linguistic barriers. The High Hamza Waw is essential in both written and spoken Arabic, reflecting its rich phonetic structure and the importance of diacritics in the Arabic script system. Its use underscores the value of Unicode in supporting a diverse range of languages and scripts for global communication and digital representation.
