Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ն has the Unicode code point U+0546. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0546 to binary:
00000101 01000110
. 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:
11010101 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+0546 represents the ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER NOW (ჲ). It is a letter in the Armenian alphabet, which is a group of characters used for the Armenian language. This character plays a vital role in digital text as it allows accurate representation and encoding of Armenian text for communication purposes, including online and print media. The ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER NOW is part of the larger Armenian script, which has been in use since the 5th century. This script is not only significant in its cultural context, as it serves as a symbol of national identity for Armenians worldwide, but also from a linguistic perspective, as it facilitates the accurate representation and transmission of the Armenian language, which belongs to the Indo-European family of languages.
