Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡠ has the Unicode code point U+0860. 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+0860 to binary:
00001000 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+0860, the Syriac Letter Malayalam Nga, is a unique character within Unicode that combines elements of two distinct scripts: Syriac and Malayalam. While it may not be commonly used in digital text, it holds cultural significance for those who study or appreciate ancient writing systems. This character was developed to facilitate the transcribing of Syriac words into the Malayalam script, which is primarily used for the Malayalam language spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. The creation of U+0860 reflects the ongoing efforts to preserve and digitize diverse writing systems, enhancing accessibility and understanding for linguists, historians, and other researchers interested in ancient scripts.
