Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠓ has the Unicode code point U+0813. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0813 to binary:
00001000 00010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+0813 represents the Samaritan Letter Rish, a symbol from the Samaritan alphabet. This ancient script is predominantly used in the religious texts of the Samaritans, a small ethnoreligious community that maintains its distinct identity and traditions. In digital text, U+0813 serves as a crucial component for accurately transcribing and encoding historical manuscripts and religious works written in the Samaritan language. The Samaritan alphabet is derived from the Phoenician script and has 25 letters, with each character holding unique phonetic and cultural significance. The inclusion of U+0813 in digital platforms helps preserve and promote the rich heritage of the Samaritan people, while also fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for diverse writing systems.
