Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݇ has the Unicode code point U+0747. 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+0747 to binary:
00000111 01000111. 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:
11011101 10000111

Description
U+0747, the Syriac Oblique Line Above, is a diacritical mark used in the Syriac script, which is primarily employed for writing the Aramaic language. This typographic character is an essential part of the traditional Syriac orthography and is widely utilized in digital text to indicate specific phonetic nuances or linguistic variations in the written form of the language. While it may not be as widely recognized or used in modern day, its role remains significant within the context of preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of Syriac-speaking communities.
