Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠉ has the Unicode code point U+0809. 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+0809 to binary:
00001000 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0809, known as the Samaritan Letter Yut, holds a significant position in digital texts relating to the ancient Semitic language spoken by the Samaritan community. This alphabet is primarily used for religious purposes, most notably in the Samaritan Torah, which is written in this script. The character's usage is predominantly within the context of religious literature and studies of ancient scripts, providing a valuable insight into historical linguistic and cultural practices. In terms of technical context, U+0809 follows the rules of the Samaritan alphabet system, which is abjad-based and has been in use since around 150 BCE. The Samaritan Letter Yut itself represents a specific phonetic value, contributing to the rich tapestry of linguistic diversity that Unicode aims to encompass.
