Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B84. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0B84 to binary:
00001011 10000100. 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:
11100000 10101110 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0B84 is a unique typographic symbol known as the Syriac Letter Nun. This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within the realm of linguistics and cultural studies. In the Syriac script, which was used for writing many Eastern Christian liturgical texts and the Syriac language between the 1st century CE and the present day, the Syriac Letter Nun is employed as a basic building block. It has noteworthy cultural and historical context, as it reflects the rich literary heritage of the ancient Aramaic-speaking world. The character's usage in digital text often facilitates the study and preservation of this linguistic tradition. However, its specific use is limited to contexts where Syriac or related Eastern Christian languages are employed, making it a specialized character within the vast scope of Unicode's standardized typographic symbols.
