Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܺ has the Unicode code point U+073A. 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+073A to binary:
00000111 00111010. 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+073A, known as the Syriac Hbasa Above, is a typographical symbol found in the Unicode Standard's 12th major version. It serves as an abbreviation for the Syriac letter hé (H), which represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound /h/ in the Syriac alphabet. This character is primarily utilized in digital texts to represent the Hbasa Above, a distinct grapheme of the Eastern Aramaic language, specifically in Syriac manuscripts. As one of 106 distinct characters in the Syriac script, U+073A contributes to the unique linguistic and cultural identity of the Assyrian Church of the East, Maronite Church, and Syriac Orthodox Church communities. In terms of technical context, the Syriac Hbasa Above is classified under the "Syriac" block (U+0700–074F) within Unicode, which encompasses various characters essential to the accurate representation of Syriac language texts.
