Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠶ has the Unicode code point U+0836. 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+0836 to binary:
00001000 00110110. 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 10100000 10110110

Description
The Samaritan Abbreviation Mark (U+0836) is a specialized Unicode character used primarily within the Samaritan script system, which is based on the ancient Aramaic script. This character plays an essential role in digital text by serving as a marker indicating where abbreviations or contractions are to be inserted in Samaritan texts. In this context, it helps maintain the linguistic accuracy and coherence of the written Samaritan language while saving space and improving readability. While its usage may be limited due to the rarity of the Samaritan script system, this character serves a vital function for those who work with or study this unique language, which has cultural significance in both historical research and religious contexts.
