Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؘ has the Unicode code point U+0618. 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+0618 to binary:
00000110 00011000. 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:

Description
U+0618, known as the Arabic Small Fatha (ف), is a character from the Unicode Standard used extensively in digital text, specifically for representing the Arabic language. This glyph denotes the fatha, which is a diacritical mark denoting a long vowel sound, typically 'a' or 'u'. Its primary role is to modify the pronunciation of a letter, as Arabic script does not distinguish between vowels and consonants in written form. The Arabic Small Fatha is essential for accurately conveying meaning and maintaining proper pronunciation when transcribing or translating text. As a vital component of typography in the Arab world, this character serves to bridge linguistic and cultural barriers in digital communication.
