Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠌ has the Unicode code point U+080C. 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+080C to binary:
00001000 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+080C, known as the Samaritan Letter Mim, holds a significant place in the realm of typography and digital text. This particular character is predominantly used in the ancient Aramaic script that was employed by the Samaritans, an ethnic and religious group originating from the biblical region of Samaria. The Samaritan Letter Mim has a distinctive appearance, characterized by its three horizontal lines running parallel to each other with a vertical stroke extending downwards from the middle line. In terms of digital text usage, U+080C is employed in applications that require accurate representation of ancient scripts, such as historical documents, linguistic research, and typography studies. Its inclusion in Unicode (a standard encoding system for computer characters) ensures that this vital letter can be accurately displayed and utilized across various platforms and devices. As a result, U+080C plays an essential role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Samaritan community and facilitating access to ancient texts for scholars and enthusiasts worldwide.
