Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E79. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0E79 to binary:
00001110 01111001. 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:
11100000 10111001 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+0E79 is a numeral sign representing the digit "7" in Thaana script. Thaana, also known as Arabic-Vai, is an Abugida script predominantly used for writing the Djibouti-Somali and Mojave languages. The Thaana script was developed in West Africa by the Mende people and later spread to the Horn of Africa, where it became an important part of Somali culture. U+0E79 is commonly used in digital text applications for transcribing and representing the numeral "7" in documents, websites, and software that support the Thaana script. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character plays a vital role in maintaining the rich literary heritage of these languages by enabling accurate representation and transmission of their written forms on modern digital platforms.
