Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A3A. 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+0A3A to binary:
00001010 00111010. 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:
11100000 10101000 10111010

Description
U+0A3A is a rare character in the Unicode standard, representing the Cyrillic Capital Letter YE with Stroke through Center (ჸ). This character is used primarily in digital texts for representing specific phonetic or grammatical distinctions within the Cyrillic script. Although it may not be as widely utilized as other Cyrillic characters, its presence signifies a unique linguistic context within specific regional dialects and languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Mingrelian, a minor language spoken in Georgia. The U+0A3A character plays a crucial role in preserving the phonetic and grammatical accuracy of texts written in these languages, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity of the Cyrillic script.
