Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠛ has the Unicode code point U+081B. 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+081B to binary:
00001000 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+081B, known as the Samaritan Mark Epenthetic Yut, is a unique typographic symbol that holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in the Samaritan community. This character serves an essential role in the Samaritan alphabet, specifically within the context of the Samaritan script. The Samaritan script is an abugida writing system, where each consonant has an inherent vowel sound, and additional diacritics are used to modify or clarify these sounds. The Epenthetic Yut (U+081B) is a specific diacritic mark that is employed to denote the epenthetic 'y' sound in certain word formations within the Samaritan language. This sound is typically inserted where it would be naturally expected by a speaker of the language, but not explicitly written. In digital text, the U+081B character helps maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity for texts written in the Samaritan script.
