Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AD5. 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+1AD5 to binary:
00011010 11010101
. 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:
11100001 10101011 10010101

Description
U+1AD5 is a unique Unicode character that represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter SHCH (Ш). This character holds significant importance in digital text as it is widely used in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, which utilize the Cyrillic script. The Cyrillic Capital Letter SHCH (Ш) is characterized by its distinct shape, combining elements of both a "Sh" and an "H". In these languages, it represents a specific phoneme or sound. While U+1AD5 may seem like a simple character in digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing the nuances of Cyrillic-based languages, enabling clear communication across various platforms and devices. Its proper usage is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural respect when engaging with speakers of these languages in digital contexts.
