Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡅ has the Unicode code point U+0845. 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+0845 to binary:
00001000 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0845 represents the Mandaic letter Ushenna (𐡩), which is a part of the ancient Aramaic script used primarily in the Mandaic language, spoken by Mandaeans in Iraq and other countries. In digital text, this glyph serves as an essential component for transcribing and translating texts from the Mandaic tradition, contributing to the preservation and understanding of the language's historical, cultural, and religious heritage. The Mandaic script is written from right to left and consists of 23 letters, each with a distinct phonetic value. While not as widely recognized as other Aramaic scripts like Hebrew or Syriac, the Mandaic script holds importance for scholars studying the development of Aramaic writing systems and the history of Mandaeism, an ancient Gnostic religion with roots in Mesopotamia.
