Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠝ has the Unicode code point U+081D. 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+081D to binary:
00001000 00011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+081D, the Samaritan Vowel Sign E, is a specialized character predominantly used within the Samaritan script, an ancient Semitic writing system. While this vowel sign has become less prevalent in contemporary digital text due to the rarity of the language itself, it still holds significance for scholars and researchers studying the Samaritan tradition, which emerged in the early centuries AD among a Jewish sect. As part of a larger alphabetic system comprising 23 letters and five vowel signs, U+081D contributes to the distinct phonological structure of the Samaritan language, differentiating it from other Semitic languages like Hebrew or Aramaic. Its digital representation ensures the preservation and accessibility of this unique script for future generations.
