Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠚ has the Unicode code point U+081A. 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+081A to binary:
00001000 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+081A, known as the Samaritan Modifier Letter Epenthetic Yut (SMEY), holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography, particularly within the context of the ancient Semitic language of Samaritan. SMEY is primarily used for the representation and preservation of this endangered language's written tradition. In its typical usage, the character serves as an epenthetic letter, which means it is inserted into words where no epenthesis occurs naturally to denote specific phonological or morphological nuances in the Samaritan language. While its use may be limited due to the rarity of the language, the SMEY remains a vital symbol in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Samaritan community.
