Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ޮ has the Unicode code point U+07AE. 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+07AE to binary:
00000111 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+07AE Thaana Obofili is a rare and specialized character in the Unicode standard, primarily used within the Dhivehi language, which is the official language of the Republic of Maldives. Thaana script is unique for its use of numerical digit-like forms to represent vowels, consonants, and other linguistic features. U+07AE specifically represents a vertical oblique stroke used in the Thaana script to separate words or denote a specific phonetic structure. While this character may not be frequently encountered in everyday digital text usage, it holds significant cultural and linguistic importance within the context of Dhivehi and the Maldivian community.
