Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠰ has the Unicode code point U+0830. 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+0830 to binary:
00001000 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0830, known as the Samaritan Punctuation Nequdaa, holds significant cultural and linguistic value in digital text. It primarily serves a grammatical function in the Samaritan language, an ancient Semitic language spoken by the Samaritan community in modern-day Israel. The Nequdaa marks sentence endings and acts as a full stop or period in written text. This character is crucial to maintaining linguistic accuracy and readability within digital texts of the Samaritan script. However, due to its limited use and specialized context, it may not be widely recognized outside of the Samaritan community and experts in Semitic languages.
