Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Պ has the Unicode code point U+054A. 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+054A to binary:
00000101 01001010
. 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 10001010

Description
U+054A, the Armenian Capital Letter Peh, holds a significant position in the Armenian alphabet, which is composed of 36 letters. This letter is commonly used in digital text for its role in representing unique phonemes and conveying meaningful messages within the Armenian language. The Armenian script, of which Peh is a part, was developed in the 5th century AD from the Aramaic alphabet and has played an essential role in preserving and transmitting Armenian cultural heritage through various periods of history. Today, it remains crucial for written communication in Armenia, Artsakh, and among Armenian diaspora communities worldwide. In a technical context, U+054A helps maintain the proper encoding of Armenian text on digital platforms by adhering to Unicode standards, ensuring that the language's distinct character set is accurately represented and preserved.
