Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A58. 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+0A58 to binary:
00001010 01011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0A58 is a significant figure in the realm of typography and digital text representation. It specifically represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Shemya (Ш), an alphabetic character used predominantly within the Russian language. This particular letter, characterized by its unique curvature and vertical stroke, holds immense cultural and linguistic importance. Its presence is particularly notable in certain regions where the Cyrillic script forms a fundamental aspect of their written language, such as Russia and other Slavic-speaking countries. In the digital text realm, U+0A58 serves a crucial role in accurately transcribing and translating these languages to ensure correct representation. Its inclusion in the Unicode system demonstrates an ongoing commitment to inclusivity, enabling diverse languages and scripts to coexist harmoniously within the vast spectrum of digital communication.
