Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ް has the Unicode code point U+07B0. 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+07B0 to binary:
00000111 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+07B0, THAANA SUKUN, is an essential element of the Thaana script, which is used primarily in the Dhivehi language spoken by the Maldivian people. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in conveying meaning and maintaining grammatical correctness within sentences. Its primary function is to signify the absence or omission of certain sounds, particularly in consonant clusters. This contributes to the accurate representation and interpretation of words and phrases in the Thaana script. Although relatively obscure outside the Maldives, THAANA SUKUN plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Maldivian people.
