Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޢ has the Unicode code point U+07A2. 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+07A2 to binary:
00000111 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+07A2 THAANA LETTER AINU is a character from the Thaana script, which is primarily used for writing the Dhivehi language of the Maldives. It has a crucial role in digital text representation by enabling accurate and consistent display of text content in the Thaana script. The Thaana script is unique among the world's writing systems, as it uses an abugida structure rather than an alphabet or syllabary. This means that each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, simplifying the writing process and reducing the number of characters needed for the script. U+07A2 THAANA LETTER AINU is one such consonantal-vowel unit in the Thaana script system, contributing to the rich linguistic heritage of the Maldives and the Dhivehi language's ability to express a wide range of ideas and concepts. The character U+07A2 THAANA LETTER AINU is an essential component of this unique writing system, which has a significant cultural and historical importance in the Maldives.
