Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡍ has the Unicode code point U+084D. 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+084D to binary:
00001000 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+084D represents the Mandaic letter An (আ), which is a crucial part of the Mandaic alphabet. Mandaic is an Aramaic language spoken predominantly by Mandaeans, a religious minority group in Iraq and Iran. This script has been utilized since ancient times and possesses both cultural and historical significance. In digital text, U+084D plays a pivotal role as it allows for accurate representation of Mandaic literature and documents, thereby preserving the language's rich history and heritage. Its use in typography is primarily confined to academic research, linguistic studies, and the Mandaean religious community.
