Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A7C. 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+0A7C to binary:
00001010 01111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+0A7C is a Unicode character that represents the Cyrillic letter "Г" (GE). This character plays an essential role in digital text, as it is utilized within the Cyrillic script, which is widely used across various languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and others. The Cyrillic script has its roots in Byzantine Greek, and it was developed during the First Bulgarian Empire (circa 9th century). This character specifically is part of a larger alphabet system that enables accurate communication and representation across these languages. As with all Unicode characters, U+0A7C contributes to the accuracy and clarity of digital text in contexts like document editing, web content, and software development where cultural, linguistic, or technical nuances must be maintained.
