Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڮ has the Unicode code point U+06AE. 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+06AE to binary:
00000110 10101110
. 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
The Unicode character U+06AE, Arabic Letter Kaf with Three Dots Below, is a vital component of the Arabic script system in digital text. It represents a modified version of the Arabic letter 'Kaf', which is pronounced as /k/ or /ɡ/ in various Arabic dialects. The addition of the three dots below signifies a long vowel sound, such as /æː/, depending on the context within the word. In the field of typography and digital text, this character plays a crucial role in accurately representing the intended phonetic and semantic aspects of written Arabic content. The Arabic script is an abjad, a writing system that primarily conveys consonantal information, with vowel marks often added for clarity in certain contexts. U+06AE's inclusion in digital text allows for more precise communication and comprehension across various platforms, particularly within the Arabic-speaking world.
