Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₼ has the Unicode code point U+20BC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+20BC to binary:
00100000 10111100. 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 10000010 10111100

Description
The Manat Sign (U+20BC) is a lesser-known Unicode character primarily used in the Azerbaijani language for representing the national currency of Azerbaijan. In digital text, it serves as the symbol for the Azerbaijani manat (AZN), which has been the official currency of Azerbaijan since its introduction in 1992, replacing the Soviet rouble. This character is crucial for accurate financial and economic communication within the region, ensuring clarity and precision when discussing monetary values. Although it may not be as widely recognized as other currency symbols, such as the dollar sign or euro symbol, the Manat Sign plays a significant role in the digital representation of transactions and financial discussions in Azerbaijan and among Azerbaijani speakers globally.
