Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ձ has the Unicode code point U+0571. 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+0571 to binary:
00000101 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+0571 represents the Armenian small letter 'Ja' (ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER JA). In digital text, it is commonly used in the Armenian language to represent the sound [ʤˑ], which is a voiced palatal stop followed by a low central vowel. The Armenian script has a rich history dating back to the 5th century AD and is part of the Eastern Armenian dialect, spoken primarily in Armenia and the Armenian diaspora. As a critical component of the Armenian language, U+0571 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage, as well as facilitating communication among native speakers. The ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER JA contributes to the unique typographical identity of Armenian text and is indispensable for accurate transcription and translation of Armenian literary works, religious texts, and historical documents.
