Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݊ has the Unicode code point U+074A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+074A to binary:
00000111 01001010. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+074A, known as SYRIAC BARREKH (ܝ), holds significant importance in the Syriac alphabet, which is derived from the Aramaic script. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role by representing a specific consonantal sound /b/ with an aspiration or emphasis on the initial position of the letter. This particular sound is unique to the Semitic languages and sets Syriac apart from other language scripts. The Syriac script was historically used for writing various Christian liturgical texts, such as the Peshitta (the Bible translation into Aramaic/Syriac) and the Estrangela, which are still in use today by some Eastern Christian denominations. As a result, U+074A has cultural, linguistic, and religious significance for these communities, and its presence in digital texts contributes to preserving and promoting this rich literary heritage.
