Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡡ has the Unicode code point U+0861. 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+0861 to binary:
00001000 01100001. 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 10100001 10100001

Description
U+0861 (SYRIAC LETTER MALAYALAM JA) is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant value for those who work with digital text. It represents a combination of Syriac and Malayalam script, which makes it an interesting fusion of two distinct cultural and linguistic traditions. While the Syriac script primarily serves as the writing system for Aramaic and ancient Syriac languages, the Malayalam script is used to write the Malayalam language, a Dravidian language predominantly spoken in Kerala, India. The combination of these two scripts in U+0861 demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of the Unicode system in accommodating a wide range of writing systems and languages from around the world. Its role in digital text lies in accurately representing text written in this unique blending of scripts, ensuring that information remains accessible and understandable for users who are familiar with either or both of these scripts. As a character that reflects an amalgamation of cultural and linguistic elements, U+0861 highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating diversity in digital text representation. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard underscores the ongoing efforts to create a comprehensive and inclusive system for encoding human languages and scripts from various regions and historical periods.
