Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠎ has the Unicode code point U+080E. 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+080E to binary:
00001000 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+080E, known as the Samaritan Letter Singa'at, holds significant importance in digital typography and text representation. It belongs to the Samaritan script, an abugida writing system primarily used in the past for the extinct Northwest Semitic language of the ancient Kingdom of Samaria. In modern digital communication and text processing, U+080E enables accurate preservation and display of historical texts, literature, and artifacts from this ancient civilization. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that linguists, historians, and researchers can access and study these invaluable sources with precision, contributing to a deeper understanding of the Samaritan culture and language. The character's role in digital text is both culturally significant and academically valuable, reflecting the rich heritage of ancient scripts while facilitating their use in contemporary digital platforms.
