Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܶ has the Unicode code point U+0736. 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+0736 to binary:
00000111 00110110. 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+0736 represents the Syriac RBASA ABOVE, a unique symbol used in the Syriac script. Syriac is an ancient Aramaic language that was widely spoken among the Assyrian Church of the East and the Syriac Orthodox Church. The Syriac script, which has been in use since around the 1st century AD, is primarily composed of a combination of consonants and vowels. In digital text, U+0736 serves as an accent mark used to denote the RBASA vowel above specific consonants within the Syriac script. Its role is crucial in conveying accurate pronunciation and meaning, as the Syriac language, like many Semitic languages, relies on a combination of consonantal skeleton and vowels to express complete words. The U+0736 symbol holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it helps preserve and promote the rich literary heritage of the Syriac language, which has been influential in shaping early Christianity, religious thought, and Middle Eastern history.
