Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܲ has the Unicode code point U+0732. 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+0732 to binary:
00000111 00110010. 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
U+0732 is a Unicode character commonly referred to as SYRIAC PTHAHA DOTTED. This character primarily serves a role in digital text as part of the Syriac alphabet, an ancient writing system used predominantly for Aramaic, a Semitic language that was widely spoken in the Middle East during antiquity. The Syriac script, which includes U+0732 among other characters, is significant due to its historical importance and influence on various writing systems such as Arabic and Hebrew. While the character itself may not be commonly used in modern digital text, it plays a crucial role in maintaining cultural heritage and linguistic diversity by providing accessibility to traditional texts for scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts of ancient languages.
