Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܀ has the Unicode code point U+0700. 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+0700 to binary:
00000111 00000000. 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:
11011100 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0700 is known as the Syriac End of Paragraph (SEOP). In digital texts, this character is used primarily in the Syriac script to signify the end of a paragraph or section, similar to how "¶" (the Pilcrow) is used in English. The Syriac script is an ancient writing system that was widely used for religious texts, particularly within the Christian tradition. The SEOP character plays a crucial role in preserving and formatting the structure of these important documents, enabling readers to navigate through them more efficiently. While it may not be commonly used in everyday digital communication, its significance lies in maintaining the integrity of Syriac literature and keeping alive an essential aspect of the language's cultural heritage.
