Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܖ has the Unicode code point U+0716. 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+0716 to binary:
00000111 00010110. 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+0716, known as SYRIAC LETTER DOTLESS DALATH RISH, holds a significant position in the field of typography and linguistics. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific letter in the Syriac script, which is an Aramaic-based writing system. The Syriac script has been historically utilized for various languages, including Classical Syriac, Mandaic, and other Eastern Aramaic dialects. In its role within digital text, U+0716 serves as a crucial element in accurately transcribing and translating texts from these linguistic traditions. The dotless nature of the Dalath Rish is a characteristic feature, differentiating it from similar letters in other alphabets. This distinction adds to the rich cultural and linguistic context of the Syriac script, which has played a significant role in the history of Christianity, as well as other religious and philosophical traditions in the Middle East. The use of U+0716 demonstrates an awareness of and respect for these historical and cultural nuances, promoting the accurate representation of languages and texts in digital environments. By employing such characters, typographers and linguists can ensure that valuable information and historical texts are preserved and accessible for future generations.
