Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠢ has the Unicode code point U+0822. 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+0822 to binary:
00001000 00100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+0822, known as the Samaritan Vowel Sign Long A, is a vital element within the Samaritan alphabet system. As part of the ancient Semitic abjad script, it played a crucial role in religious and cultural texts from the 6th to 9th centuries AD. The Samaritan community used this character specifically to denote the long 'a' vowel sound in their language. In digital text, U+0822 is used to preserve the integrity of original manuscripts and facilitate accurate transcription for modern research purposes. By including this character in Unicode, scholars and researchers can study and analyze primary sources without fear of misinterpretation or loss of information. As a result, U+0822 serves as an essential tool in maintaining the cultural heritage and linguistic history of the Samaritan community.
