Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܔ has the Unicode code point U+0714. 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+0714 to binary:
00000111 00010100
. 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+0714 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the Syriac letter Gamal Garshuni, also known as ܘܒ. This letter is used primarily within digital text for its specific role in the Garshuni script, which is an adaptation of the Persian script to the Syriac language. The Syriac language itself belongs to the Eastern Aramaic languages and has been historically significant in the development of several modern languages, including Arabic and Hebrew. In digital text, U+0714 helps maintain the cultural and linguistic integrity of texts written in the Syriac language by providing an accurate representation of the original script used in physical manuscripts. As a result, the character contributes to preserving historical documents and promoting a greater understanding of Syriac literature, religious texts, and other artifacts from various cultures that have employed this unique script throughout history.
