Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A0E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0A0E to binary:
00001010 00001110
. 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:
11100000 10101000 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+0A0E is a crucial element in digital typography, specifically for the Arabic script. This character holds significant importance due to its role as a right-to-left mark (RLM) in the Arabic language. In the realm of text encoding and digital communication, characters such as U+0A0E are pivotal for maintaining text integrity and ensuring accurate rendering. The right-to-left mark is essential for correctly displaying Arabic text on devices and platforms that support right-to-left languages. By signaling to software systems the presence of a right-to-left language, U+0A0E ensures that subsequent characters are rendered accordingly, contributing to the proper flow and readability of text in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
