Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+10C6. 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+10C6 to binary:
00010000 11000110
. 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 10000011 10000110

Description
U+10C6 is a character in the Unicode standard, representing a specific glyph used in digital text. In its typical usage, this character serves as an essential building block for various languages and scripts, contributing to the richness of written communication across the globe. One of the key roles it plays is in the Syriac script, where it represents the consonantal letter "Hê", which has both phonetic and grammatical significance. U+10C6 is a vital component of the Syriac language, which has historical and cultural importance as it was used for religious texts, such as the Peshitta, an early translation of the Bible into Aramaic. The Syriac script itself has strong ties to the Aramaic and Hebrew alphabets, making U+10C6 a link between different linguistic and cultural contexts in the Near East. In terms of technical aspects, U+10C6 is encoded in the Unicode standard within the range for Syriac characters, ensuring its accurate representation on digital platforms and maintaining consistency across various applications and devices.
