Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֊ has the Unicode code point U+058A. 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+058A to binary:
00000101 10001010. 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:
11010110 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+058A, known as the Armenian Hyphen, plays a crucial role in representing Armenian language text on digital platforms. In its typical usage, this character is employed to create hyphenated words or compound words, similar to how the English hyphen (-) functions. This is particularly important for the Armenian language, which often employs hyphens to indicate connections between words that together convey a specific meaning. Given that Armenian is an Indo-European language with its own unique script and orthography, the U+058A character is essential for maintaining the integrity of Armenian text when presented in digital environments. Furthermore, it helps facilitate accurate translation and understanding of texts for speakers of the Armenian language and those studying it.
