Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character م has the Unicode code point U+0645. 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+0645 to binary:
00000110 01000101
. 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 10000101

Description
U+0645 is the Unicode character code for Arabic Letter Meem (ج), a glyph used in the Arabic script. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words and sentences within the Arabic language, which has more than 28 countries where it is spoken or written. The Arabic script is an abjad, meaning that it primarily consists of consonantal letters, with Meem being one of these. It represents both the /m/ and /n/ sounds depending on its position in a word, making it essential for accurate pronunciation. The character's unique shape reflects its historical origins, with the curved form representing a camel's leg or hump, symbolizing the nomadic lifestyle of early Arabic speakers. Today, U+0645 is widely used across various digital platforms and applications for accurately rendering Arabic text, playing a crucial role in maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural authenticity in online communications and documentation.
