Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡙ has the Unicode code point U+0859. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 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+0859 to binary:
00001000 01011001. 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 10100001 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+0859, known as the Mandatic Affiration Mark, is an essential component of the Mandatic script used primarily in the Assyrian language. In digital text, this character serves as a diacritical mark used to modify or affect the pronunciation of consonants in the script. It plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate representation and interpretation of the original text, especially when transcribing or translating Assyrian texts into other scripts or languages. Although not commonly used outside of its specific linguistic context, the Mandatic Affiration Mark is a vital part of preserving the integrity of the Assyrian language's written tradition.
