Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܒ has the Unicode code point U+0712. 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+0712 to binary:
00000111 00010010. 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+0712, known as SYRIAC LETTER BETH, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. It is used to represent a specific letter within the Syriac script, an ancient writing system that originated from Aramaic. In its usage, this character serves as a foundational element for various words and phrases in the Syriac language, which has been predominantly used by the Syriac-speaking Christian communities, particularly among Assyrian Christians and Jacobite Christians in countries like Iraq, India, Lebanon, and Syria. The cultural context of SYRIAC LETTER BETH is deeply intertwined with the religious history of these communities, as the Syriac language has been the liturgical language for various churches, such as the Assyrian Church of the East, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Maronite Church. Furthermore, it has contributed to the development of other literary languages, including Classical Syriac, which was used for religious texts, poetry, and philosophical works. In terms of technical context, SYRIAC LETTER BETH is part of the Unicode Standard, an encoding system that assigns unique code points to characters from virtually every writing system in use across the world. The character's code point, U+0712, enables its accurate representation and manipulation within digital text environments, such as word processors, websites, and software applications, thereby preserving the integrity of the Syriac language in the modern age of technology.
