Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۢ has the Unicode code point U+06E2. 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+06E2 to binary:
00000110 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+06E2 Arabic Small High Meem Isolated Form is a typographical character that plays a significant role in the Arabic writing system, specifically in digital text representation. As an isolated form of the Arabic letter meem (م), this character serves to represent the initial sound of words beginning with the consonant /m/ when placed at the beginning of a word or after a space or other punctuation mark. In Arabic typography, it is crucial for maintaining proper spacing and structure within text, as the isolated form allows the letter meem to stand alone without being attached to adjacent characters, which might be necessary in certain digital text layouts or font styles. This character is essential for preserving the linguistic integrity of Arabic language texts in digital formats, as it helps maintain the correct visual representation and pronunciation of words containing the initial consonant /m/.
