Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܻ has the Unicode code point U+073B. 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+073B to binary:
00000111 00111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+073B is known as the Syriac Hbaza Below (Ⴥ). It plays a significant role in digital texts that involve the Syriac script, an ancient writing system used primarily for Aramaic languages such as Syriac and Mandaic. As part of the Syriac script, U+073B is essential for representing words with baza, which is a specific type of cursive letter in the script. The character helps maintain consistency and clarity in texts that utilize this particular writing system. In digital contexts, its accurate representation and encoding are crucial to preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic nuances embedded within Syriac literature.
