Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܂ has the Unicode code point U+0702. 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+0702 to binary:
00000111 00000010. 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+0702, known as SYRIAC SUBLINEAR FULL STOP, is a special punctuation mark used in Syriac script, an ancient writing system primarily employed for the Aramaic language in the Middle Ages. In digital text, it serves to indicate pauses or sentence breaks, similar to its counterparts in other scripts such as the period (.) or full stop. The sublinear form of this punctuation mark is distinct from the above-line version, which is placed below the main text line in the Syriac script tradition. This character plays a vital role in maintaining the cultural and linguistic integrity of texts written in Syriac, which has been used for religious, literary, and scientific works throughout history. In today's digital world, the preservation and use of such special characters are essential to ensure accurate representation of these ancient texts and their rich heritage.
