Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡓ has the Unicode code point U+0853. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0853 to binary:
00001000 01010011
. 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 10010011

Description
U+0853 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the Mandaic Letter Ar (Arsh). This letter is primarily used in the Mandaic alphabet, which is a variant of the Old South Arabian script. In digital text, it plays an essential role in representing and encoding the Mandaic language, which was historically spoken by Mandaeans in Mesopotamia and modern-day Iran. The Mandaic script has a unique combination of Semitic and non-Semitic features due to its evolution from the Old South Arabian script, making it an interesting study for typography enthusiasts and linguists alike. The character U+0853 is crucial in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of digital texts that require the use of the Mandaic alphabet, ensuring proper communication and understanding across various platforms and applications.
