Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܦ has the Unicode code point U+0726. 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+0726 to binary:
00000111 00100110. 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+0726, the SYRIAC LETTER PE, is a significant character within the Unicode Standard, serving as a crucial element in digital text representation for the Syriac language. Primarily utilized in religious texts, this letter holds immense cultural and linguistic importance in the Syriac tradition. In particular, it is employed within the ancient Eastern Aramaic language family, which was predominantly spoken during the first millennium CE. The Syriac script, of which SYRIAC LETTER PE is a part, evolved from the earlier Aramaic script and was extensively used in various religious texts, including the Peshitta, a translation of the Bible into the Syriac language. In the realm of typography, U+0726's accurate and precise representation within digital text ensures the preservation and dissemination of this rich linguistic heritage.
