Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ؗ has the Unicode code point U+0617. 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+0617 to binary:
00000110 00010111. 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
The Unicode character U+0617 is known as the "Arabic Small High Zain." It holds a significant position within the Arabic script due to its role in representing a specific sound and meaning in the Arabic language. As a part of the Arabic alphabet, it serves as an essential component for accurate communication in written Arabic. In digital text, U+0617 is used to depict the 'zayin' (ز), which is one of 28 letters in the Arabic script and has a unique phonetic value. The character represents the voiced alveolar affricate sound /d͡z/ or the voiced palatal affricate /ʒ/. It is crucial to maintain accuracy when using this character, as misrepresentation can lead to misunderstandings in text. Furthermore, U+0617 holds a special place in Islamic culture and religion, given that Arabic is the language of the Quran, the holy book for Muslims. The precise use of each character, including the Arabic Small High Zain, ensures the fidelity and integrity of religious texts.
