Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A4E. 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+0A4E to binary:
00001010 01001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+0A4E represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Yeru (Ḳ) in the Cyrillic script. It is commonly used in various languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and others. In a digital text context, U+0A4E serves its typical role of representing the specific sound or phoneme denoted by the character. This Unicode character holds cultural significance, as it is part of a script that has been used in Slavic languages for centuries. The Cyrillic script was developed during the 9th century and is named after its creator, the Byzantine Greek monk Saint Cyril, also known as Constantine Cyriacus. Its technical context is vital for accurate translation and representation of text in digital formats, ensuring that the correct character is used to preserve meaning across different languages and platforms.
