Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ފ has the Unicode code point U+078A. 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+078A to binary:
00000111 10001010. 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
U+078A is a Unicode character representing the Thaana letter FaaFu (THAANA LETTER FAAFU). Thaana is the script used for writing the Dhivehi language, which is the official language of the Maldives. The script is unique in that it uses only 26 letters, just like the Latin alphabet, but in a vertical orientation rather than horizontal. The character U+078A plays a crucial role in digital text, especially for electronic devices and software that support or focus on Dhivehi language content. This character's usage helps maintain linguistic integrity and cultural identity in the digital world, enabling the Maldivian people to communicate effectively through their native script.
