Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڃ has the Unicode code point U+0683. 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+0683 to binary:
00000110 10000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+0683 represents the Arabic Letter Nyeh (النيع), a consonant in the Arabic script. In digital text, this character is used to transcribe the sound of the Arabic letter and represents a voiced retroflected dental fricative (/ðˁ/) in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). U+0683 plays a vital role in representing the Arabic language accurately across various digital platforms, including websites, documents, and software applications. This character is part of the Arabic script, which has been used for over 1,400 years to write the Arabic language, one of the world's major languages spoken by millions of people across multiple countries. The use of Unicode ensures that Arabic text can be displayed and edited consistently across various operating systems and software applications, supporting cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts for users who read or write in Arabic.
