Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ބ has the Unicode code point U+0784. 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+0784 to binary:
00000111 10000100. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0784, THAANA LETTER BAA (𑥄), is a crucial element in the Thaana script, primarily used for writing the Dhivehi language of the Maldives. As a member of the Braille-based Thaana script, it serves as an essential tool in the visually impaired community for reading and writing purposes. The character represents a phoneme /b/ or /p/ depending on its position within a word, making it a vital component in the pronunciation and comprehension of Dhivehi. U+0784 plays a significant role in preserving the cultural identity and linguistic heritage of the Maldivian people by enabling accessible communication for those with visual impairments.
