Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷬ has the Unicode code point U+2DEC. 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+2DEC to binary:
00101101 11101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+2DEC, the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ER, is a specialized Unicode character used primarily in typography and digital text to represent the Cyrillic letter 'Е' (Er). This character is essential for representing the Er sound in languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. In digital text, it is often employed in combination with other characters to create accented or modified letters, enhancing the richness and expressiveness of written communication. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ER has a vital role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and preserving the cultural nuances of texts written in languages utilizing the Cyrillic alphabet.
