Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠈ has the Unicode code point U+0808. 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+0808 to binary:
00001000 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
The character U+0808, known as Samaritan Letter Tit, holds significant importance within the realm of typography and Unicode systems. As a specialized character in digital text, it is primarily used for representing the ancient Semitic script of the Samaritan language. This script dates back to biblical times and has been preserved by the small Jewish community known as Samaritans. U+0808 represents one of the 21 unique letters within this script, which was inscribed on stone and pottery for centuries. Today, Samaritan Letter Tit plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural continuity for the Samaritan community. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital platforms can accurately display and support the Samaritan language, facilitating communication, research, and preservation of this ancient script. As such, U+0808 serves as a vital link between past and present, enabling the Samaritan culture to endure in the rapidly advancing world of technology.
