Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷸ has the Unicode code point U+2DF8. 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+2DF8 to binary:
00101101 11111000. 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 10110111 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+2DF8 is known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER DJERV (𝒮). In digital text, this symbol plays a significant role in representing and encoding the Cyrillic script, which is primarily used for writing Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Kazakh, and other Slavic languages. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER DJERV is typically employed in combination with other alphabetic characters to form words or phrases in these languages. As a combining character, it can be combined with base letters, digraphs, trigraphs, and other Cyrillic characters to create unique glyph forms. Although its usage may not be as widespread as other Cyrillic characters, the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER DJERV remains an essential component of the Unicode Standard, which aims to ensure the accurate representation and display of text across various digital platforms and devices.
