Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡘ has the Unicode code point U+0858. 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+0858 to binary:
00001000 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0858 represents the Mandaic letter Ain, a key component of the Mandaic alphabet. This ancient script is primarily used in digital text to transcribe the Mandaic language, which has its roots in Aramaic and was predominantly employed by Mandaeans, a religious community originating in Mesopotamia. The Mandaic Ain () symbolizes a voiced alveolar affricate sound, similar to the English "z" or "j," and holds great significance in written Mandaic texts, including sacred scriptures, legal documents, and literary works. In modern digital communication and text processing, the accurate representation of the Mandaic letter Ain is crucial for maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural preservation.
