Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܮ has the Unicode code point U+072E. 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+072E to binary:
00000111 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+072E SYRIAC LETTER PERSIAN GHAMAL is a lesser-known character in the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a glyph representing a specific letter of the Syriac script, an alphabetic writing system developed for the Aramaic language and widely used among Assyrian Christians. Although it holds historical significance, its usage in digital text is relatively limited due to the decline of the Syriac language in contemporary communication. Nonetheless, its presence in the Unicode Standard ensures the accurate representation of texts in the Syriac script for linguistic, cultural, and scholarly purposes.
