Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A4A. 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+0A4A to binary:
00001010 01001010
. 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 10101001 10001010

Description
U+0A4A is a Unicode character with the code point 0A4A. This character is part of the Armenian script, which has been used since the 5th century to write the Armenian language. In digital text, U+0A4A typically represents the letter "Պ" (uppercase bē). This letter is commonly utilized in Armenian proper nouns and as a phoneme in spoken Armenian. The Armenian script has historical significance due to its ancient origins, and it remains an important part of modern Armenian culture, serving both linguistic and cultural functions. As with many other scripts, U+0A4A and the Armenian script as a whole have been adapted for use on computers and other digital platforms, ensuring that this rich tradition can continue to be preserved and shared.
