Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷢ has the Unicode code point U+2DE2. 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+2DE2 to binary:
00101101 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+2DE2 is the Unicode code point for COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER GHE, a typographic character used in digital text. This combining character is typically utilized within the Cyrillic script to alter or modify other letters. It serves as a diacritic, which means it does not represent an independent sound or letter on its own, but rather alters the properties of adjacent characters. In certain linguistic contexts, particularly in the Eastern Slavic languages like Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian, GHE helps to differentiate between distinct phonetic sounds or alterations of a base letter. It is important to note that this character is used specifically within digital texts, as it may not be present or recognizable in printed texts or other traditional forms of communication. The usage of COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER GHE reflects the ongoing evolution and standardization of Unicode, which aims to cover all characters and symbols from all written languages worldwide.
