Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C8D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+0C8D to binary:
00001100 10001101. 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 10110010 10001101

Description
U+0C8D is a character from the Latin Extended-A (LatnExt) block of Unicode, primarily used for representing specific letters in various African and Middle Eastern languages. This particular character is often utilized to denote certain alphabets, such as "k" or "m" within the Adlam script used by the Wolof people of Senegal. Due to its specialized usage, U+0C8D plays an important role in digital text communication for these linguistic communities, facilitating accurate representation and preservation of their distinct cultural heritage and historical traditions.
