Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡩ has the Unicode code point U+0869. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0869 to binary:
00001000 01101001
. 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 10101001

Description
U+0869 SYRIAC LETTER MALAYALAM LLLA is a rare Unicode character that combines elements from both Syriac and Malayalam scripts. It is not commonly used in digital text but holds significance due to its fusion of two unique writing systems. The Syriac script, an ancient Aramaic-based script, was historically used for writing the liturgical language of the Church of the East. The Malayalam script, on the other hand, is a Dravidian script used predominantly in the southern Indian state of Kerala for writing the Malayalam language. U+0869 highlights the versatility and adaptability of Unicode to accommodate various scripts from different languages and cultural contexts.
