Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡑ has the Unicode code point U+0851. 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+0851 to binary:
00001000 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+0851, also known as MANDAIC LETTER ASZ, is an essential component of the Mandaic script, a writing system used primarily for the Aramaic language in ancient Mesopotamia. This specific character serves to represent the phoneme /a/, which represents the first vowel sound in the Mandaic alphabet. In digital text, U+0851 plays a crucial role in enabling accurate representation of texts written in Mandaic, thereby preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural heritage associated with this ancient script. By using Unicode encoding, scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts can now access, analyze, and disseminate information on Mandaic literature and its historical significance more efficiently than ever before.
