Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ՝ has the Unicode code point U+055D. 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+055D to binary:
00000101 01011101. 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:
11010101 10011101

Description
The Armenian comma (U+055D) is a unique typographic symbol with specific importance within the Armenian language and script. It serves as a crucial punctuation mark that helps define pauses, breaks, or divisions in written text, akin to the function of a regular comma in Latin-based languages. However, unlike its Western counterpart, it carries added cultural and linguistic significance due to its exclusive use within the Armenian script. The character is part of the ISO/IEC 10646 standard for encoding characters, specifically assigned under the range of the "Armenian" block, thus emphasizing its role in preserving and promoting the Armenian language and culture. In digital text, it maintains its function as a punctuation mark to ensure clarity and readability while also preserving the distinctiveness of the Armenian script.
