Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷫ has the Unicode code point U+2DEB. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2DEB to binary:
00101101 11101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+2DEB, the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER PE, is a typographical character found in Unicode that plays an essential role in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of the Cyrillic script. It is a combining character, which means it is specifically designed to be combined with other letters or symbols to form words and phrases. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER PE is primarily used in various languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, and others. In these languages, it serves a functional role in creating specific sounds and phonetic structures when combined with other characters. It is important to note that this character does not stand alone; instead, it combines with adjacent characters to form words and convey meaning. U+2DEB holds cultural, linguistic, and technical significance due to its use within these diverse languages and the Cyrillic script as a whole.
