Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠇ has the Unicode code point U+0807. 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+0807 to binary:
00001000 00000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+0807, also known as SAMARITAN LETTER IT, holds a significant place within the realm of digital typography and text representation. As part of the ancient Hebrew-based Samaritan script, this character is primarily used to represent certain phonetic sounds in the Samaritan language, which is still spoken by a small community of people in Israel today. In a broader context, U+0807 contributes to the preservation and promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity, allowing users to create digital text that accurately represents various ethnic groups' heritage and identity. Despite its limited usage in comparison to other widely-known scripts, U+0807 serves as an important element for those with a keen interest in typography, linguistics, or the history of written languages.
