Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷡ has the Unicode code point U+2DE1. 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+2DE1 to binary:
00101101 11100001
. 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 10100001

Description
U+2DE1 is the Unicode character code for the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER VE (ᰱ). This character plays a vital role in digital text by allowing the combination of Cyrillic letters, particularly in languages such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. Typically, it is used to create diacritical marks on other Cyrillic characters, which are essential for expressing specific phonetic or grammatical features in these languages. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER VE contributes significantly to the accuracy and comprehensibility of text in these regions, facilitating communication and maintaining linguistic traditions. It is an integral part of the Unicode Standard, a system designed to represent characters from all written languages across the world, promoting global digital communication and preserving cultural diversity.
