Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B8B. 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+0B8B to binary:
00001011 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+0B8B represents the Syriac letter Kaph (also known as ܘ in lowercase). This character is primarily used in the Syriac script, which is utilized for writing the Syriac language, an East Aramaic language mainly spoken in the Middle Ages. The Syriac script has played a significant role in the development of various languages and scripts in the region, including Arabic and Hebrew. In digital text, U+0B8B performs its usual role as a letter in the Syriac alphabet when used within the context of writing or encoding Syriac texts. The character is part of the Unicode 1.0 standard, which was released on October 1991 to provide a unique code point for every character in the world's writing systems, enabling accurate representation and handling of text across various platforms and languages.
