Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠑ has the Unicode code point U+0811. 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+0811 to binary:
00001000 00010001
. 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 10010001

Description
U+0811 is the Unicode code point for Samaritan Letter Tsadiy, a character essential to the Samaritan script. This script is primarily used in the religious texts of the Samaritan community, which holds separate beliefs from mainstream Judaism. The Samaritan Letter Tsadiy (Ṣ) is an important element in the Samaritan language and literature, including their holy book, the Ketuvim, or "Writings." In digital text, U+0811 allows for accurate representation of historical and cultural texts in the Samaritan script. This Unicode character contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage of the Samaritan community and facilitates research and understanding of their unique culture, religion, and history.
