Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۈ has the Unicode code point U+06C8. 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+06C8 to binary:
00000110 11001000
. 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:
11011011 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+06C8 represents the Arabic letter "يو" (Yū), which is a consonant in the Arabic script. It is a part of the larger Arabic writing system, which has been in use for over 1,400 years. In digital text, U+06C8 serves as a unique identifier that helps computer systems differentiate between various characters and accurately render text in the Arabic language. Arabic script is a right-to-left (RTL) writing system, which means that when using U+06C8, it should be placed later than other characters in a sequence to ensure correct rendering. This letter specifically represents a voiced pharyngeal fricative sound and is essential for proper pronunciation of words containing the "يو" (Yū) character. The Arabic script's rich history and cultural significance make U+06C8 an important element in maintaining linguistic integrity across various digital platforms and applications.
