Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠂ has the Unicode code point U+0802. 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+0802 to binary:
00001000 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0802 is known as the Samaritan Letter Gaman. It holds significant importance in the Samaritan alphabet system used in the writing of Samaritan script, a language traditionally spoken by the small Samaritan community. This letter represents a consonantal phoneme and is used to transcribe the sound 'g'. U+0802 is frequently employed in digital text as part of efforts to preserve and share the linguistic heritage of the Samaritan people. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard facilitates its use across various platforms, enabling researchers and scholars to study and understand this unique script and language.
