Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ܁ has the Unicode code point U+0701. 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+0701 to binary:
00000111 00000001. 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+0701 represents the Syriac Supralinear Full Stop (ܘ), a punctuation mark in the Syriac script. In digital text, this character serves as a full stop or period at the end of a sentence. It is primarily used within the context of the liturgical and historical documents written in Syriac, an East Semitic language spoken by the Assyrian and Syriac-speaking Christian communities in Mesopotamia, Syria, Persia, and other parts of the ancient Near East. The Supralinear Full Stop is differentiated from the sublinear full stop (ܘ) because it does not cross over any letters or lines, whereas the sublinear variety does. Its distinctive design is deeply rooted in the Syriac script's unique characteristics, which have been employed since the 1st century AD for writing the liturgical and secular texts of the Church of the East, the Assyrian Church of the East, and other Eastern Christian communities. This punctuation mark plays a crucial role in maintaining the flow and clarity of written documents within these cultural and linguistic contexts.
