Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠭ has the Unicode code point U+082D. 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+082D to binary:
00001000 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+082D, also known as the Samaritan Mark Nequdaa, holds significant importance in the realm of digital text, specifically for the Samaritan script. This character is a vital part of the digital representation of the ancient Semitic language, which was primarily used by the Samaritans, an ethnoreligious group originating from the region surrounding the ancient biblical city of Samaria. In this context, the Samaritan Mark Nequdaa serves as a unique marker for indicating specific phonetic or grammatical features in the language, contributing to the accuracy and comprehensibility of Samaritan texts in digital platforms. Although its usage is relatively rare outside of specialized academic and linguistic circles, the character remains an essential tool in preserving and studying the linguistic heritage of the Samaritan people and their unique script.
