Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠒ has the Unicode code point U+0812. 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+0812 to binary:
00001000 00010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+0812, known as the Samaritan Letter Quf, is an essential glyph in the digital representation of the ancient South Arabian script. This script was primarily used for writing in various pre-Islamic Arabian languages and is of great historical significance due to its unique characteristics that differentiate it from other scripts in the region. In digital text, U+0812 serves a crucial role in accurately conveying the intended meaning and context of written documents in languages that utilize this script. It is important to note that while the Samaritan Letter Quf is a critical component of ancient South Arabian scripts, it has limited use in modern linguistic contexts, as most contemporary Arabic languages employ other scripts. However, its inclusion in Unicode ensures the preservation and accessibility of historical documents and knowledge for future generations.
