Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A77. 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+0A77 to binary:
00001010 01110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+0A77 is a unique character within the Unicode standard, representing the character 'ḇ' (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER REVERSED B). This specific symbol is utilized in digital text to indicate an uppercase letter that has been reversed, flipping its orientation from the typical upright position. The 'ḇ' character holds significance for typographers and linguists, as it serves a crucial role in representing distinct phonetic or morphological properties within certain languages or scripts where the reversal of letters is a prominent feature. Its usage can be seen in several minority languages and scripts, contributing to the richness and diversity of written communication worldwide.
