Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B98. 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+0B98 to binary:
00001011 10011000
. 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 10101110 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0B98 is known as the Arabic Letter Heh. In its typographic representation, it appears as ه. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in Arabic language systems where it is commonly used. It is one of 28 letters that form the basic building blocks of the Arabic script. The Arabic alphabet has both a root and a variety of forms for each letter depending on its position within a word or sentence, which can be reflected by other Unicode characters in certain contexts. U+0B98 is notable for being an important component in the digital representation of the Arabic language, as it helps to maintain linguistic accuracy and facilitate communication among Arabic speakers globally.
