Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷯ has the Unicode code point U+2DEF. 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+2DEF to binary:
00101101 11101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+2DEF is the Unicode code point for the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER HA character. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the Cyrillic letter "Х" in combination with other letters to create a word or phrase. It is often employed in text where the typography needs to be visually consistent and the desired style requires combining characters from different scripts, such as Latin and Cyrillic. In terms of linguistic context, this character finds its application predominantly within languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, and others. From a technical standpoint, U+2DEF is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character, symbol or emoji, thereby ensuring accurate and consistent encoding and rendering across different devices, platforms, and software applications. This standard plays a crucial role in enabling global communication by facilitating the exchange and display of text in various languages and scripts over digital media.
