Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܤ has the Unicode code point U+0724. 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+0724 to binary:
00000111 00100100. 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
U+0724 is the Unicode code point for Syriac Letter Final Semkath, a character used in the Syriac script. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark placed at the end of words to denote a specific grammatical function, specifically indicating the final form of a verb or noun. This character plays a significant role in the Syriac language, which is part of the Eastern Christian tradition and has been used for centuries in religious texts, including the Peshitta, an early translation of the Bible into Aramaic and Syriac. Although the use of the Syriac script has diminished in recent times, it continues to be studied and utilized by scholars and adherents of the Syriac tradition.
