Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܛ has the Unicode code point U+071B. 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+071B to binary:
00000111 00011011. 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+071B, SYRIAC LETTER TETH, is an essential element of the Syriac script, which is primarily used for writing the liturgical language of the Syriac Church and its dialects, including Classical Syriac, Mandaic, and several modern Aramaic languages. As a member of the East Semitic family, Syriac script has a rich history dating back to the 1st century AD and has played a significant role in the development of various literary and religious texts, including the Peshitta, an early translation of the Bible into Syriac. In digital text, U+071B is used to accurately represent the distinct form and pronunciation of the letter Teth in these languages, contributing to a comprehensive and authentic representation of the script within electronic documents, websites, and software applications.
