Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠆ has the Unicode code point U+0806. 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+0806 to binary:
00001000 00000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+0806 is known as Samaritan Letter ZEN. In the realm of digital typography, it represents a specific letter from the Samaritan alphabet. This ancient script was primarily used by the Samaritans, an ethnic and religious group in Israel who have maintained their unique traditions, language, and culture throughout history. The Samaritan Letter ZEN plays a crucial role in the writing system of the Samaritan language, which has its roots in the Hebrew alphabet but evolved independently over time. In digital text, U+0806 is used to accurately represent this distinctive letter in electronic documents, websites, and software that support the Samaritan script, thus preserving an essential aspect of the Samaritan cultural identity for future generations.
