Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠍ has the Unicode code point U+080D. 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+080D to binary:
00001000 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
The character U+080D, known as the Samaritan Letter Nun (𐡝), is a crucial component of the ancient Semitic script called Samaritan, which is still used by the small community of Samaritan Jews today. In digital text, this letter fulfills its typical role in representing the consonantal sound 'n' or 'n'. Samaritan, an early precursor to the Hebrew alphabet, has a unique and distinct script with 23 letters. The cultural, linguistic, and technical significance of U+080D lies in its use for preserving and perpetuating the rich history and heritage of the Samaritan community and their religious texts. Its inclusion in digital platforms ensures the continued accessibility and transmission of this ancient script and the wisdom contained within the sacred texts of the Samaritans.
