Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݉ has the Unicode code point U+0749. 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+0749 to binary:
00000111 01001001. 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+0749 is known as SYRIAC MUSIC. It plays a significant role in the Syriac script, which is part of the larger family of Eastern Christian scripts. As an ancient writing system, it has been used for the documentation and preservation of religious texts, particularly within the Syriac-speaking communities in the Middle East and beyond. The U+0749 character specifically represents a musical symbol or notation in this script. This underscores its importance not only in textual representation but also in the transmission and performance of religious music within these communities. Given its unique cultural and linguistic context, the use of U+0749 serves as an essential tool for maintaining the tradition of Syriac religious music, which is deeply rooted in the region's history and spiritual practices.
