Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character خ has the Unicode code point U+062E. 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+062E to binary:
00000110 00101110. 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:
11011000 10101110

Description
The Arabic letter U+062E, known as the Arabic letter Khaah, plays a pivotal role in digital text by representing the consonantal sound "k" or "q" in various dialects of the Arabic language. As part of the expansive Arabic script, it is instrumental in the accurate representation and transmission of written communication across the globe. The letter Khaah is commonly used in words where it appears as a separate character, and at times, as a component in other letters due to its unique shape and position within the Arabic alphabet. Its importance in both linguistic and cultural contexts cannot be overstated, as it facilitates effective communication in multiple dialects, including Modern Standard Arabic and various regional languages. The accurate representation of the letter Khaah in digital text is crucial for preserving the integrity of these dialects, thereby contributing to the richness and diversity of global linguistic expression.
