Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05F5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+05F5 to binary:
00000101 11110101
. 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:
11010111 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+05F5 represents the Cyrillic letter Yeru, which is used in various Slavic languages such as Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian. In digital text, it serves its usual role of representing a specific phonetic sound or concept, depending on the context within a sentence or word. The Cyrillic script is widely utilized in Eastern European countries and has a rich cultural history, originating from the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century. U+05F5's inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its proper representation across different digital platforms and applications, preserving its linguistic identity and facilitating communication among speakers of these languages.
