Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܾ has the Unicode code point U+073E. 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+073E to binary:
00000111 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+073E SYRIAC ESASA BELOW is a character used primarily in the Syriac script, an ancient writing system that originated in the region of Aramea, which later became part of the Roman Empire. This character plays a vital role in digital text by representing the lowercase form of the letter Esasa, which has a value of 'Z' in Latin letters. In the context of the Syriac script, it is used to write the Eastern Aramaic languages such as Classical Syriac, Mandaic, and Jewish Babylonian Talmudic Aramaic. The script itself was developed around the 1st century AD and has been in use for over two millennia. It has a rich cultural and linguistic history, playing a significant role in the religious and literary traditions of various Eastern religions and societies. The Unicode character U+073E SYRIAC ESASA BELOW helps to preserve and promote this historic script by providing an accurate digital representation for use in modern computing systems.
