Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޠ has the Unicode code point U+07A0. 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+07A0 to binary:
00000111 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+07A0 represents the "THAANA LETTER TO" in digital text. Thaana is a unique writing system used predominantly for the Dhivehi language of the Maldives, which has been using this script since the 16th century. This particular character serves as the initial letter in words and phrases when written with Thaana script. Its role in digital text involves accurately encoding and representing the unique characteristics of the Thaana script within various software applications and platforms. The Unicode character set, which includes U+07A0, has been instrumental in preserving the linguistic identity of the Dhivehi language by enabling accurate representation and exchange of text across different digital systems. This has facilitated communication among Maldivians and those learning the language while also fostering cultural preservation and global accessibility to this unique script.
