Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܌ has the Unicode code point U+070C. 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+070C to binary:
00000111 00001100. 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
U+070C, also known as SYRIAC HARKLEAN METOBELUS, is a character from the Unicode standard. In digital text, it primarily serves as a typographical representation for the Syriac language. The Syriac script has historical roots in the Aramaic alphabet and was used by early Christian communities to write the Syriac language, which played an important role in the development of Christianity. The Harklean Metobelus is a specific letter form, utilized in the Harklean Bible, a significant edition of the Peshitta, the official translation of the Bible into Syriac. In terms of cultural and linguistic significance, U+070C contributes to the preservation of the rich heritage of the ancient Syriac language and its script, which has influenced various languages including Arabic and Hebrew.
