Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷽ has the Unicode code point U+2DFD. 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+2DFD to binary:
00101101 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2DFD, known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER LITTLE YUS, is a specialized glyph in the Cyrillic script used primarily for digital text purposes. This character allows for the customization of typographical designs by combining it with other letters to create unique or specific representations within the Cyrillic alphabet. Its primary use lies in the rendering of certain regional dialects and languages that employ the Little Yus as a distinct letter, such as the Karachay-Balkar language. In this context, the character holds significant cultural and linguistic value, enabling accurate representation of these languages within digital spaces. By avoiding fluff and focusing on accuracy, the Unicode character U+2DFD serves as an essential tool for typographers, designers, and linguists in their work with Cyrillic scripts.
