Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠏ has the Unicode code point U+080F. 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+080F to binary:
00001000 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+080F, Samaritan Letter In (𐤟), is a vital component of the Samaritan alphabet, which was used in ancient times to write the Samaritan language. This particular letter represents the consonantal sound 'ayin' (pronounced as 'a' or 'Ay'). In digital text, U+080F plays an essential role in accurately representing Samaritan literature and historical documents, aiding scholars and researchers in their studies of this ancient Semitic language. The Samaritan alphabet is unique due to its distinct script, which evolved from the ancient Hebrew alphabet, featuring both consonants and vowels for clearer pronunciation. Although the use of the Samaritan language has significantly diminished over time, the preservation and digitization of these ancient texts, including U+080F, have become increasingly important to maintain cultural heritage and linguistic knowledge.
