Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ۜ has the Unicode code point U+06DC. 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+06DC to binary:
00000110 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+06DC is known as the Arabic Small High Seen (ع), a letter from the Arabic script used to represent the consonantal sound 's'. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in communications and documents involving the Arabic language. Arabic, a Semitic language, is written from right to left, and it is the official language of 26 countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. The Arabic Small High Seen (ع) appears in various forms, including isolated (standalone), initial (when it starts a word), medial (within a word), or final (at the end of a word). It is an important component of written communication in Arabic-speaking regions and holds cultural significance due to its usage in religious texts, such as the Quran. In typography, accurate representation of this character is essential for clear communication, with modern digital fonts designed to ensure proper rendering across different platforms and devices.
