Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡈ has the Unicode code point U+0848. 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+0848 to binary:
00001000 01001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0848 is known as the "MANDAIC LETTER ATT." It plays a significant role in digital text, primarily within the Mandaean religious and linguistic context. The Mandaic language, which uses this script, originated among the Mandaeans, an ancient Gnostic community. U+0848 is utilized in representing the phonetic values of vowels and consonants in this unique Aramaic-based writing system. This character contributes to the accurate and faithful representation of sacred texts, such as the "Ginza," a central religious work for the Mandaeans, ensuring cultural preservation and understanding among its practitioners.
