Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܥ has the Unicode code point U+0725. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0725 to binary:
00000111 00100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+0725 represents the Syriac letter 'e', a significant symbol within the Syriac script. As part of the Ephremian family of scripts, it is primarily used in the Syriac language, which is an East Semitic language spoken and written by Eastern Christian communities from ancient times to the present day. The Syriac script serves as the ancestor for several other scripts, including the Arabic script. In digital text, U+0725 fulfills its role as a character in various software applications, including word processors and programming languages that support Unicode. Due to its linguistic and historical significance, the Syriac letter 'e' holds cultural importance, contributing to the rich heritage of the Syriac language and script, which played an essential role in the early Christian literature and theological works of the Eastern Church.
