Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BBA. 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+0BBA to binary:
00001011 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+0BBA is a Unicode character representing the Syriac letter 'Kim'. In digital text, it plays a significant role in various applications, particularly in typography for languages that use the Syriac script, such as Classical Syriac and Middle Syriac. This script was historically used in the regions of ancient Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and Armenia, which have rich cultural and linguistic contexts. The character is crucial in accurately transcribing texts from these languages, preserving their unique histories and traditions for future generations. U+0BBA is an essential element in the preservation of these ancient languages and scripts, contributing to a better understanding of their history and culture.
