Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ݁ has the Unicode code point U+0741. 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+0741 to binary:
00000111 01000001. 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+0741, known as the Syriac Qushshaya (ܚ), holds significant importance within the realm of digital text, particularly in relation to the Syriac script. This particular character is an essential element of the Eastern Aramaic family of languages, predominantly used among Assyrian and Syriac Christian communities. In digital contexts, it serves a vital role as part of a rich literary tradition, spanning over two millennia. The Syriac Qushshaya has found its place in modern computing systems through the universal encoding standard, Unicode, enabling users to accurately represent and utilize this ancient character in various applications, such as text editing software, websites, and other digital mediums. By preserving this character within the vast spectrum of digital text, we ensure that the cultural and linguistic heritage embodied by the Syriac Qushshaya remains accessible and meaningful for future generations.
