Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۆ has the Unicode code point U+06C6. 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+06C6 to binary:
00000110 11000110. 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
The Unicode character U+06C6, known as ARABIC LETTER OE (ج), is a significant component of the Arabic alphabet used in digital text. It has a unique role in representing various phonemes in different dialects and languages that use the Arabic script. This character is part of a larger set of 28 distinct letters in the Arabic writing system, which is written from right to left. The ARABIC LETTER OE (ج) specifically represents an open-mid back rounded vowel sound or approximant consonant sound depending on its position within a word and the accompanying diacritics. It holds cultural significance as the Arabic script has been used for over 1,400 years to write various languages including Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and several other languages in the Middle East and South Asia. In terms of technical context, ARABIC LETTER OE (ج) is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique number for every character, symbol or emoji we use on our digital devices, ensuring accurate representation across different platforms and systems. This standardization is essential for global communication in an increasingly digitally connected world.
