Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡇ has the Unicode code point U+0847. 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+0847 to binary:
00001000 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+0847, or the Mandaic Letter It, is a typographical character primarily used in the Mandaic alphabet, which is part of the Aramaic language family. This letter represents the phoneme /i/ or /e/, and it plays a crucial role in digital text systems for accurately conveying the nuances of written Mandaic. As one of 22 letters in the Mandaic script, it has historical and cultural significance within the Mandaean religious tradition. The Mandaic language and alphabet were developed by the Mandaeans, an ancient Gnostic sect that predates Christianity and Islam, and their literature offers valuable insights into the intellectual history of the Near East. Today, this character continues to be relevant for scholars studying ancient Aramaic languages, as well as for preserving the unique religious texts and cultural heritage of the Mandaean community.
