Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡛ has the Unicode code point U+085B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+085B to binary:
00001000 01011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+085B, known as the Mandatic Gemination Mark, holds a significant position in digital text, specifically within Mandatic script. It is utilized to denote gemination, which is the doubling of consonants in word formation, contributing to the rich phonetic structure of the language. Although primarily used in Mandatic texts, this character may find occasional usage in other languages and scripts that employ similar gemination conventions. The Mandatic Gemination Mark plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity within digital texts, ensuring that written works remain true to their original form.
