Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1C8A. 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+1C8A to binary:
00011100 10001010
. 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 10001010

Description
U+1C8A is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Small Letter Tje (Тъ). In digital text, this character serves as a unique identifier to represent the specific letter "тъ" within the Cyrillic script. This character is mainly used in languages like Bulgarian and Macedonian, where it has a significant role in conveying distinct sounds that are not represented by other letters in the Cyrillic alphabet. As an essential part of the Cyrillic script, U+1C8A plays a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating communication in these languages. Its presence in digital text helps maintain accuracy and clarity when discussing or sharing content in Bulgarian and Macedonian over various online platforms and applications. Overall, U+1C8A is an indispensable component of the Unicode Standard, enabling precise representation and preservation of Cyrillic languages in the digital realm.
