Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡒ has the Unicode code point U+0852. 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+0852 to binary:
00001000 01010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+0852 is known as MANDAIC LETTER AQ. It primarily serves a functional role in digital text, specifically within the Mandaean script, which is utilized for the Mandaean language spoken by the Mandaeans, an ethnoreligious community predominantly found in Iran and Iraq. This character is essential for accurately transcribing texts and preserving the cultural heritage of this unique linguistic group. The Mandaic script is derived from Aramaic script, which itself has roots in the Phoenician alphabet. Therefore, it holds a significant place within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern languages and scripts. The use of U+0852 in digital text ensures that Mandaean literature, religious texts, and other materials can be accurately represented and preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.
