Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠴ has the Unicode code point U+0834. 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+0834 to binary:
00001000 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+0834, known as the Samaritan Punctuation Atmaau, is a rarely used character that holds significance in digital typography, particularly within the realm of ancient languages. This glyph serves a specific role in representing text written in the Samaritan language, an ancient Semitic language that originated from the region around Samaria. The Samaritan script is unique and distinct from other alphabetic writing systems, and it has been used by the small community of Samaritan practitioners to transcribe religious texts, primarily the Samaritan Pentateuch. Although its usage is limited due to the rarity of the language, the character U+0834 maintains cultural importance for scholars studying ancient languages and scripts.
