Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠪ has the Unicode code point U+082A. 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+082A to binary:
00001000 00101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+082A, Samaritan Vowel Sign I, holds significant importance within the digital text realm, particularly in the context of the ancient Semitic script called Samaritan. This character serves a crucial role in representing the vowel sounds in the written Samaritan language, which is an extension of the Hebrew alphabet and primarily used for religious texts among the Samaritan community. The use of U+082A in digital text allows for accurate transcription and interpretation of these sacred texts, enabling a broader audience to appreciate and study the unique linguistic features of the Samaritan language. While not widely utilized outside the Samaritan community, the inclusion of this character within Unicode helps preserve and promote cultural diversity in written expression.
