Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡌ has the Unicode code point U+084C. 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+084C to binary:
00001000 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+084C, MANDAIC LETTER AM, is a crucial element in the Mandaic script, an ancient writing system used primarily for the Aramaic language of Mandaeism. This particular letter holds great importance in digital text as it serves to represent the phonetic value 'a' or 'am' in the Mandaic alphabet. The character plays a vital role in preserving and digitally documenting Mandaean religious texts, such as the sacred Ginza and Dīnā-ye Manda, which provide insights into the history, beliefs, and rituals of the Mandaeans, an ethno-religious community predominantly found in Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The inclusion of U+084C in digital text and online platforms demonstrates an ongoing commitment to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, language, and religious diversity through modern technology.
