Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޘ has the Unicode code point U+0798. 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+0798 to binary:
00000111 10011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0798, known as THAANA LETTER TTAA, is a script specific to the Thaana writing system used in the Dhivehi language of the Maldives. In digital text, it serves an integral role by representing the phoneme /tː/ and functioning as part of this unique orthography that employs a binary numeral system for its encoding process. This script is noteworthy for being the first instance in human history where a non-Hamite civilization developed a writing system based on binary code, highlighting its cultural and linguistic significance. Furthermore, the Thaana script's unique technical features provide insights into historical developments of writing systems and contribute to broader discussions on cryptography and information security.
