Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࡥ has the Unicode code point U+0865. 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+0865 to binary:
00001000 01100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+0865 is designated as SYRIAC LETTER MALAYALAM NNNA. In the realm of digital text, this character holds a unique position due to its blending of two distinct linguistic traditions - Syriac and Malayalam. This amalgamation makes it particularly noteworthy for researchers and typography enthusiasts. While in typical usage, it may appear as an exception or anomaly within texts primarily composed in either Syriac or Malayalam script systems, its presence underscores the fluidity and adaptability of language systems in the digital age. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural and linguistic exchange that can occur through digital platforms, blurring boundaries between languages and scripts. The character's existence is deeply rooted in technical specifications rather than widespread cultural or linguistic usage, making it more of an academic curiosity for many.
