Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷺ has the Unicode code point U+2DFA. 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+2DFA to binary:
00101101 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+2DFA (COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER YAT) is a typographical character primarily used for combining with other Cyrillic characters in digital text. This Unicode character allows for the creation of complex ligatures, diacritics, and modifiers, contributing to the visual nuances of various languages that use the Cyrillic script. Its usage is mainly within the context of these languages, most notably Russian and other Slavic languages. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER YAT helps to accurately represent specific phonetic or orthographic features unique to certain dialects or regional variations in these languages. Overall, U+2DFA plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic identity and facilitating accurate communication in Cyrillic-based digital text.
