Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷼ has the Unicode code point U+2DFC. 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+2DFC to binary:
00101101 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DFC, known as COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER IOTIFIED A, is a specialized typographical symbol used in digital text, primarily within the realm of the Cyrillic script. Its primary role is to act as a diacritical mark or combining character, modifying the base letter it accompanies. Specifically, it is placed above the Cyrillic letter "A" to indicate an iotated sound, which is significant in certain Slavic languages where this phoneme exists. This specific character plays a vital role in preserving the accurate pronunciation and meaning of words in these languages when transcribed using digital text. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER IOTIFIED A reflects the linguistic nuances of Cyrillic-based languages and demonstrates the rich diversity of phonetic characteristics within Slavic languages. It contributes to the precise representation of these complex sounds in a digitized form, enabling accurate communication and preservation of cultural expressions through digital text platforms.
