Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ٙ has the Unicode code point U+0659. 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+0659 to binary:
00000110 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+0659, also known as Arabic Zwarakay, is a crucial element of the Arabic script in digital text. It primarily serves as a diacritical mark, denoting a vowel sound (the 'a' sound) within a word or phrase. This distinctive character plays a vital role in Arabic typography and linguistic expression, enabling readers to accurately decipher pronunciation and meaning. The Arabic Zwarakay has cultural significance as it is deeply ingrained in the rich history of the Arabic language, which spans across various regions including the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. As digital communication continues to expand globally, characters like U+0659 remain essential for preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating effective cross-cultural understanding.
