Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٟ has the Unicode code point U+065F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+065F to binary:
00000110 01011111
. 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:
11011001 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+065F, Arabic Wavy Hamza Below, is a specialized diacritical mark used predominantly in the Arabic script. It represents a lowercase wavy hamza, a type of shading or wavy line placed under an Arabic letter. In digital text, this symbol serves to modify the pronunciation or linguistic characteristics of the letter it accompanies. While it may seem visually intricate, its role in the Arabic script is significant and precise. The Wavy Hamza Below, alongside other similar diacritical marks, helps to refine the phonetics and meaning of words in Arabic language texts, enabling a more accurate and nuanced representation of spoken sounds. While this character may not be widely recognized outside of certain linguistic or cultural contexts, it plays a vital role in accurately representing the Arabic language within digital text environments, thereby maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating clear communication.
