Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڭ has the Unicode code point U+06AD. 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+06AD to binary:
00000110 10101101. 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:
11011010 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+06AD represents the Arabic letter "نغم" (NG), which is a part of the Arabic script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental component for encoding Arabic text using the Unicode Standard. This script is predominantly used in written communication across various Arabic-speaking regions and plays a significant role in the linguistic and cultural identity of these communities. The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters, and U+06AD specifically represents the "ng" sound, which is made by blocking the nasal airflow through the nose while voicing a velar nasal sound. This letter can appear as an independent character or be incorporated in other words and phrases in Arabic text, reflecting its importance in the Arabic language's structure.
