Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۖ has the Unicode code point U+06D6. 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+06D6 to binary:
00000110 11010110. 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+06D6 is the Unicode character code for Arabic Small High Ligature Sad with Lam with Alif Maksurah (اِل). This typographic symbol plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the Arabic script. The Arabic script has a unique system of connecting and disconnecting letters based on vowels. In this case, the character is a ligature, which is a combination of two or more separate characters that are connected to form a single graphical entity. Specifically, it consists of an 'Alif' (أ) placed above a 'Sad' (س) and a 'Lam' (ل). In Arabic calligraphy and typography, such ligatures help maintain the flow of writing and improve legibility, as they are used to replace certain combinations of letters that would otherwise be written separately. U+06D6 is utilized in digital text to represent this particular combination, ensuring accurate representation of the intended words or phrases in Arabic. This character showcases the rich cultural heritage and linguistic complexity of the Arabic language, highlighting its unique characteristics and the importance of preserving its authentic form in digital communication.
