Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޡ has the Unicode code point U+07A1. 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+07A1 to binary:
00000111 10100001. 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+07A1 is the Unicode code point for Thaana Letter Zo (ኘ), which is a character used in the Thaana script. The Thaana script is primarily used to write the Dhivehi language, spoken in the Maldives. This script is unique as it is one of only two abugidas that are written from right to left, the other being the Gurmukhi script. In digital text, U+07A1 serves its role as a basic building block for more complex text structures. It is part of the Thaana block of Unicode, which encompasses characters from U+0780 to U+07FF. The use of Thaana script and its characters are significant in preserving and promoting Maldivian cultural identity as well as facilitating communication among Dhivehi speakers.
