Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ڛ has the Unicode code point U+069B. 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+069B to binary:
00000110 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+069B, Arabic Letter Seen with Three Dots Below, is a character used in the Arabic script that holds significant importance in digital text. This particular letter represents the Arabic sound 'sīn' (س) when it appears isolated or as part of a word. In the Arabic script system, it is one of many letters marked by diacritics, which are dots and lines added to the base character to denote its pronunciation, vowel sounds, or grammatical functions. The three dots below the letter indicate the presence of a hamza, which is an Arabic consonant representing a glottal stop or a pharyngeal fricative sound (ħ or ʕ). This character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural context while transcribing and displaying Arabic text in digital formats. The Unicode standard ensures its proper representation across various platforms, software, and devices, making it universally accessible for users around the world.
