Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ީ has the Unicode code point U+07A9. 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+07A9 to binary:
00000111 10101001. 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:
11011110 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+07A9, known as THAANA EEBEEFILI, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography. It is primarily utilized within the Thaana script, which belongs to the family of Abugida writing systems. Thaana is predominantly employed for the Dhivehi language, spoken by the Maldivian people residing in the Maldives, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. The U+07A9 character's role in digital text involves representing the phonetic value of the consonant "ee" followed by a final vowel 'i', which adds intricacy to the language's pronunciation and allows for a rich expression of its linguistic nuances. Despite being less familiar to global audiences, the Thaana script and its associated characters, including U+07A9 THAANA EEBEEFILI, play an essential role in preserving and promoting the cultural identity and heritage of the Maldivian people.
