Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷥ has the Unicode code point U+2DE5. 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+2DE5 to binary:
00101101 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+2DE5 is the Unicode code point for the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ZE character. It is a combining character used in digital text to create Cyrillic letters. In typography, it is often utilized in conjunction with other characters to form specific glyphs within the Cyrillic script. This character plays a significant role in various languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, where it contributes to the formation of various letters by combining with base characters like COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER A (U+0430) or COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER SHEVA WITH HOOK (U+049D). The accurate use of U+2DE5 in digital text ensures correct rendering and interpretation of the intended Cyrillic characters, preserving linguistic integrity.
