Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡨ has the Unicode code point U+0868. 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+0868 to binary:
00001000 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+0868 is the Unicode code point for "SYRIAC LETTER MALAYALAM LLA." This character represents a specific letter in the Syriac script, which is primarily used for writing the Syriac language. In digital text, this character serves as an essential building block for encoding and displaying text in the Syriac language. The Syriac script has its roots in the ancient Aramaic alphabet and has been widely used in various Christian traditions for religious texts, particularly in the early centuries of Christianity. However, it is important to note that U+0868, which represents a Malayalam-specific modification of a Syriac letter, does not have a direct connection with the Malayalam script or language. The use of this character in digital text reflects the versatility and adaptability of the Unicode system, which accommodates diverse scripts from different languages, allowing for accurate representation and communication across various cultural and linguistic contexts.
