Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠨ has the Unicode code point U+0828. 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+0828 to binary:
00001000 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0828, known as the Samaritan Modifier Letter I (𐤸), is a specialized alphabetic symbol used in digital text for transcribing and encoding of the extinct Samaritan script. This ancient writing system was utilized by the Samaritan community from the 5th century BCE to the Middle Ages, primarily in religious texts and inscriptions. In the context of typography, U+0828 serves as a crucial element for accurate representation and interpretation of historical documents and manuscripts, preserving cultural heritage and facilitating research. The Samaritan Modifier Letter I is not commonly employed outside its specific linguistic context, reflecting the specialized nature of the Samaritan script in contemporary usage.
