Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BFD. 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+0BFD to binary:
00001011 11111101. 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 10101111 10111101

Description
U+0BFD is a Unicode character code that represents the Syriac letter Aleph (ፊ). In digital text, it is typically used to represent the first letter of the Syriac script, which is an important part of the written form of several East Syriac dialects and liturgical languages. It has been widely used in religious texts, such as the Peshitta, which is a translation of the Bible into Syriac, as well as in modern literary works in the East Syriac dialects. The character holds significance within the Syriac Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations that follow the East Syriac tradition. In terms of typography, U+0BFD contributes to the rich history and diversity of written languages and scripts around the world.
