Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character پ has the Unicode code point U+067E. 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+067E to binary:
00000110 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+067E, Arabic Letter Peh (پ), is an essential glyph in the Arabic script, a member of the Semitic family of writing systems. In digital text, it serves as one of the 28 basic letters that form the basis of modern Standard Arabic and various regional dialects. The character represents a voiced bilabial stop, similar to the English "b" sound but with vocal cords vibrating, and is used in words with varying meanings such as 'to open', 'door', or 'mouth'. It holds significant cultural and linguistic value as it has been utilized for over a thousand years in diverse contexts, from religious texts like the Quran to scientific works and modern literature. U+067E is also crucial from a technical standpoint as it allows for proper text rendering in digital platforms by adhering to Unicode's encoding standard, ensuring accurate representation across different devices and systems, thus facilitating global communication and exchange of information.
