Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۄ has the Unicode code point U+06C4. 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+06C4 to binary:
00000110 11000100. 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:

U+06C4, the Arabic Letter Waw with Ring (و), is a character in the Arabic script used to represent the consonantal sound /w/. In digital text, it plays a crucial role as one of 28 basic letters in the Arabic alphabet. This letter is considered a "fatḥa" sound, meaning it carries a long vowel "a" when used on its own. The character often appears in various forms depending on its position within a word, such as isolated, initial, medial, or final form. In terms of cultural significance, the Arabic script has been a cornerstone of written communication and literary expression in the Arab world for centuries. U+06C4 is part of this rich heritage, contributing to the beauty and complexity of the language. The Arabic script is also widely used in digital contexts, making the accurate representation of characters like U+06C4 essential for both linguistic and cultural authenticity in online communications.
