Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܕ has the Unicode code point U+0715. 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+0715 to binary:
00000111 00010101. 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+0715 represents the Syriac letter Dalath (ܕ). In digital texts, this character is primarily used for representing and encoding the Syriac script, which is a historic Aramaic alphabet used in various liturgical contexts of Christianity and Judaism. The Syriac script was widely employed for writing Syriac language, specifically in the Eastern Christian tradition during the first millennium CE. As part of the Syriac script, Dalath (ܕ) holds a significant role, serving as the eighth letter of the alphabet. It represents a voiced dental fricative (/"ð/). The Unicode character U+0715 preserves the typographical and cultural heritage of this ancient script and plays a crucial part in digital text preservation and representation of Syriac literature, historical documents, and religious texts.
