Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڧ has the Unicode code point U+06A7. 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+06A7 to binary:
00000110 10100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+06A7 is the Unicode code point for Arabic Letter Qaf with Dot Above, a character widely used in the Arabic language. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for words and phrases within the Arabic script, which is written from right to left. The Qaf (ق) is the 18th letter of the basic Arabic alphabet and represents a voiced uvular plosive sound /q/. The dot above the Qaf (ق) symbolizes a specific pronunciation or indicates vowel length, depending on the context in which it is used. Arabic typography and Unicode standards are crucial for accurate representation of Arabic text in digital platforms such as websites, mobile applications, and software interfaces. The proper handling of U+06A7 and other Unicode characters helps preserve linguistic and cultural nuances essential to effective communication in the Arabic-speaking world.
