Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷻ has the Unicode code point U+2DFB. 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+2DFB to binary:
00101101 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+2DFB, known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER YU, is a unique character in Unicode that serves a specific role in digital text. It is primarily used in conjunction with other Cyrillic letters to create distinct combinations and sounds within the Cyrillic script, which is utilized in various languages including Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, and others. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER YU typically appears above or below other characters to indicate a change in pronunciation or stress. It is not widely used outside of these languages due to the specific linguistic requirements of the Cyrillic script. Overall, U+2DFB plays a crucial part in maintaining accuracy and clarity within digital texts that rely on the Cyrillic alphabet for effective communication.
