Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠬ has the Unicode code point U+082C. 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+082C to binary:
00001000 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+082C, known as the Samaritan Vowel Sign Sukun, is an essential component of the ancient Semitic script called Samaritan. It holds great significance in digital text representation for preserving historical and cultural documents, especially those related to religious texts for the Samaritan community. In its typical usage or role in digital text, U+082C serves as a vowel indicator, specifically marking the absence of vowels in words. This sign is essential because the Samaritan language lacks explicit vowels in written form, relying solely on consonants and diacritical marks to convey meaning. As part of the early alphabetic writing system, it has been used for centuries by the Samaritan community, a religious minority group primarily found in Israel. In terms of technical context, U+082C is part of the Samaritan block (U+0800–0836) in Unicode, which aims to encompass all essential characters necessary for accurate digital text representation of the Samaritan language. This character plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic and cultural continuity by enabling digital preservation and dissemination of sacred texts and other documents written in this ancient script.
