Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ։ has the Unicode code point U+0589. 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+0589 to binary:
00000101 10001001. 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+0589, known as ARMENIAN FULL STOP, is a typographical symbol used to denote the end of a sentence in Armenian text. This character plays a crucial role in digital texts that employ the Armenian script, ensuring proper delineation and readability for speakers of the language. The Armenian Full Stop is part of the larger Armenian Unicode block, which comprises 1,356 characters essential for rendering the Armenian alphabet and its unique set of diacritics. This character is particularly significant in digital contexts, as it helps maintain the integrity of the Armenian language by preserving its specific linguistic and cultural identity within the globalized realm of the internet. The ARMENIAN FULL STOP is also used to distinguish Armenian text from other languages that use similar characters for punctuation, thereby preventing misinterpretation or confusion among users of different scripts.
