Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡄ has the Unicode code point U+0844. 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+0844 to binary:
00001000 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
The character U+0844 is known as MANDAIC LETTER AH. It is primarily used in the Mandaic script, which originated from Aramaic. In digital text, this character is encoded using Unicode to accurately represent this specific letter within various computing systems and software applications. The Mandaic script is of significant cultural importance as it was historically used for writing the Mandaic language, an ancient Aramaic dialect that has its roots in Mesopotamia and Persia. This script was widely utilized by Mandaeans, a religious community still present today, who employed the Mandaic script to write their sacred texts and religious literature. The accurate encoding of characters like U+0844 is crucial for preserving and studying historical documents as well as facilitating the digital exchange of information in languages that may not be as widely used or understood. In summary, U+0844 (MANDAIC LETTER AH) serves a vital role in the accurate representation and preservation of Mandaic language and cultural heritage in the digital realm.
