Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֏ has the Unicode code point U+058F. 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+058F to binary:
00000101 10001111. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+058F, known as the ARMENIAN DRAM SIGN, holds a significant position in digital texts, particularly within the Armenian language. This symbol represents the smallest unit of currency in the Republic of Armenia and the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, equivalent to 100 Armenian Drams. The usage of this character in digital texts is primarily for monetary calculations, conversions, or as a reference to the Armenian currency within financial contexts. Although not widely recognized on a global scale like other major currencies, it plays a vital role in the local economy and daily transactions within Armenia and the region. Its importance lies not only in its function as a symbol but also in representing the cultural and economic identity of the Armenian people. The ARMENIAN DRAM SIGN's presence in digital texts reflects the country's financial system and contributes to accurate representation of monetary values in both local and international contexts.
