Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܚ has the Unicode code point U+071A. 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+071A to binary:
00000111 00011010. 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+071A, the Syriac letter Heth, holds a significant place in typography and Unicode due to its historical and cultural significance in the Aramaic language. This character is primarily used in digital text as part of the Syriac script, which originated from the ancient Aramaic script used in the region that encompasses modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. The Syriac language is a member of the East Aramaic languages family and was widely spoken during the early centuries AD. In addition to its linguistic role, U+071A represents an important cultural artifact that showcases the rich history of the Middle Eastern region. The script itself has undergone several developments over time, with Heth being one of the 22 letters in the modern Syriac alphabet. It is written from left to right and typically serves as a consonantal alphabetic symbol in the language, representing the sound /h/ or /χ/. The inclusion of U+071A in digital texts and typography enables researchers, linguists, and historians to study and preserve the Syriac language and its cultural context. In the realm of technology and Unicode standards, it represents a commitment to preserving and showcasing the diversity of human languages and scripts.
