Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᲇ has the Unicode code point U+1C87. 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+1C87 to binary:
00011100 10000111. 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:
11100001 10110010 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C87, known as the "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER TALL YAT," plays a significant role in digital text within the Cyrillic script, particularly for languages such as Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. This character represents the phoneme /t͡s/, which is a voiceless alveolar affricate, and it's capital form is U+1C86 (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER TALL YAT). In these languages, the Tall Yat is utilized to differentiate between various phonemes that may otherwise be represented by similar characters. Despite being less common in other Cyrillic-based languages, its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate representation and comprehension of text for those who rely on it.
