Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠞ has the Unicode code point U+081E. 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+081E to binary:
00001000 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+081E, known as the Samaritan Vowel Sign Overlong AA, holds a significant position within the realm of digital text, specifically in relation to the ancient Semitic language, Samaritan. As part of this script's unique typographical system, this character is integral for representing the overlength long vowel "aa" when it follows a specific set of letters. The intricate rules governing its usage and placement contribute to the linguistic complexity of Samaritan, which has been in use by the religious minority community of Samaritans since antiquity. Given its historical and cultural context, the U+081E character serves as a key component in maintaining the integrity and continuation of the Samaritan language, allowing for accurate digital representation and preservation of ancient texts.
