Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡎ has the Unicode code point U+084E. 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+084E to binary:
00001000 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+084E, known as MANDAIC LETTER AS, is a crucial element in the Mandaic script, which is an ancient Aramaic writing system. This script was predominantly used for religious texts within Mandaean communities, a Gnostic sect with roots in antiquity. In digital text, U+084E plays a pivotal role as it represents one of the essential building blocks for encoding the Mandaic alphabet. While the usage of this character may be limited due to the decline of the Mandaean religion and the rarity of Mandaic texts in modern times, it remains an important aspect of typography and linguistics, offering valuable insights into the history and culture of ancient civilizations.
