Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٷ has the Unicode code point U+0677. 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+0677 to binary:
00000110 01110111. 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 10110111

Description
The character U+0677, Arabic Letter U with Hamza Above, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Arabic language. This particular character is an essential part of the Arabic script, which is written from right to left and comprises 28 letters along with various diacritics and symbols. In typography and Unicode, it represents the sound "w" or "u". It is used in digital text to accurately represent the pronunciation of certain words in the Arabic language. The Hamza (ء) above the letter U (و) is a diacritical mark that indicates a glottal stop, a sound made when the flow of air through the vocal tract is suddenly blocked and released by the voice, giving the word a distinct pronunciation. The U+0677 character ensures that Arabic texts are accurately transcribed and conveyed in digital platforms, thus preserving cultural identity and linguistic integrity.
