Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷪ has the Unicode code point U+2DEA. 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+2DEA to binary:
00101101 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+2DEA is a unique Unicode character that holds significant importance in the world of typography. It specifically represents the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER O (U+2DEA). As its name suggests, this character serves as a combining character, which means it can be combined with other Cyrillic characters to create unique glyphs or symbols. This character is often used in digital text to provide an extended range of typographical possibilities for the Cyrillic script, allowing for more intricate and expressive language representation. While its usage is relatively niche, U+2DEA holds a significant place in linguistic and cultural contexts that employ the Cyrillic script. It is particularly prevalent in languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. Its use in these languages allows for more expressive and precise communication, contributing to the richness of their written forms. In terms of technical context, U+2DEA adheres to Unicode's standardized system, ensuring compatibility across various software platforms and applications. This standardization fosters greater interoperability among different systems, enabling a seamless flow of information in digital environments. Overall, U+2DEA stands out as an essential character for those working with the Cyrillic script or studying Unicode typography. Its role in expanding the range of expressible symbols within the Cyrillic script and its adherence to the universal Unicode standard make it a crucial part of modern digital text.
