Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޱ has the Unicode code point U+07B1. 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+07B1 to binary:
00000111 10110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+07B1 represents the letter 'Na' (THAANA LETTER NAA) in the Thaana script, which is primarily used for writing the Dhivehi language, the official language of the Republic of Maldives. Thaana is a unique abugida script with 26 letters, digits, and punctuation marks, and it is written from left to right. U+07B1's typical usage in digital text includes its role as a base character for various consonant clusters and modifier characters in the Thaana script, where each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a'. Due to its cultural significance in the Maldives and its linguistic value within the Dhivehi language, U+07B1 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the rich heritage of the region.
