Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܪ has the Unicode code point U+072A. 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+072A to binary:
00000111 00101010. 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
The Unicode character U+072A represents the Syriac letter Rish (RSTB), which is a part of the ancient Syriac script. This script was widely used in the Eastern Christian tradition, specifically among Syrian Christians and Assyrian Christians, for religious texts and literature between the 1st century CE and the late Middle Ages. The Syriac language belongs to the East Semitic branch of languages and is closely related to the Aramaic language. In digital text, U+072A serves as a typographic element to accurately represent the Rish character in various software applications, websites, and documents involving the Syriac script. As such, it plays an essential role in maintaining the cultural heritage and historical linguistic continuity of the Syriac-speaking communities. By providing accurate representation of these characters, Unicode ensures that researchers, linguists, and enthusiasts can study and engage with this rich and significant part of human history without the risk of misinterpretation or loss of meaning.
