Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܝ has the Unicode code point U+071D. 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+071D to binary:
00000111 00011101. 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+071D represents the Syriac letter Yudh (SYRIAC_LETTER_YUDH). This character is used in digital text to represent the Yudh letter from the ancient Syriac script, which was primarily used for writing Aramaic and later became a significant component of the literary language of the Church of the East. The Syriac alphabet is derived from the Aramaic square script, and the Yudh letter holds a vital position in its structure, corresponding to the phoneme /j/ or /ʤ/ in various dialects of the language. The character has a rich history and cultural significance, as it was utilized in the production of religious texts and scholarly works during the golden age of Syriac literature between the 4th and 10th centuries AD. Today, the Syriac alphabet, including U+071D, continues to play an important role in liturgical usage within the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Assyrian Church of the East.
