Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E9A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+2E9A to binary:
00101110 10011010
. 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:
11100010 10111010 10011010

Description
U+2E9A is a rare character in Unicode typography, known as the "Mongolian Script, Yi Syllable, Sha" (CHARACTER 2E9A). It is primarily used in digital text for representing individual syllables within the Mongolian script or Yi writing system. This script originated in the Yi people's culture, predominantly found in China, and has been an essential part of their linguistic identity. In its technical context, U+2E9A plays a crucial role in accurately translating and encoding text for users who utilize these scripts for communication and expression. Despite its infrequent use outside of specific linguistic communities, it remains an integral component within the broader scope of Unicode's commitment to representing the world's diverse languages and writing systems.
