Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڵ has the Unicode code point U+06B5. 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+06B5 to binary:
00000110 10110101. 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+06B5 is the Unicode code point for Arabic Letter Lam with Small V (لام محکكة). In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block of the Arabic script, which is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The Arabic script is an abjad, meaning it primarily consists of consonant letters and does not indicate vowels or short vocalization marks. However, U+06B5, as part of the Arabic script, carries a specific cultural, linguistic, and technical significance. Lam (ل) is one of the 28 basic letters in the Arabic alphabet. It has an initial form (ل), medial form (ل), and final form (ل). The character U+06B5 represents the Lam with a small v-shaped line (محکكة) on its right side, which indicates a specific pronunciation or grammatical case. In terms of linguistic context, this Arabic letter is used to write various Arabic dialects and languages, including Modern Standard Arabic, Levantine Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, and many others. The Arabic script's flexibility and expressive capabilities make it suitable for writing in diverse cultural settings across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond. From a technical standpoint, U+06B5 is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent encoding and accurate representation of characters across different platforms, applications, and devices. This standardization plays an essential role in the global exchange and understanding of digital text, including Arabic text with the character U+06B5.
