Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡋ has the Unicode code point U+084B. 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+084B to binary:
00001000 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+084B is a character from the Mandaic alphabet, a script used primarily for writing Aramaic. In digital text, it serves as a representation of the Mandaic letter AL. This letter is not commonly used in modern typography and may be found only in specialized contexts such as historical linguistics, religious studies, or the study of ancient manuscripts. The Mandaic script was historically employed for writing the Aramaic language, which was widely spoken in the Near East during the Achaemenid Persian Empire (550-330 BCE). In its time, it played a crucial role in religious texts and legal documents of the Mandaeans, an ancient Gnostic sect still present in modern times. Today, knowledge of this script is limited primarily to scholars and enthusiasts interested in its cultural, linguistic, and historical significance.
