Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܄ has the Unicode code point U+0704. 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+0704 to binary:
00000111 00000100. 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+0704, known as the Syriac Sublinear Colon, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the representation of Syriac language documents. This character is primarily used to divide sections or lines of text in manuscripts written using the Syriac script, which is one of the oldest Aramaic dialects and has been widely used in Eastern Christianity since the 1st century AD. The Syriac Sublinear Colon serves as a crucial tool for scholars and researchers studying ancient texts and manuscripts, providing essential information about how these documents were organized and structured. As part of the Estrangelo script family, this character exhibits intricate typographical features that are unique to Syriac language documents, reflecting its rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
