Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CBA. 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+0CBA to binary:
00001100 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+0CBA is a Unicode character representing the Latin letter 'R' with a macron, also known as a line over R (Ɛ). In digital text, this character is typically used in typography to denote a long vowel sound, commonly found in various African languages. The macron indicates that the 'R' should be pronounced with a longer duration than a regular 'R'. Notably, U+0CBA is crucial for accurate transcription and translation of text from these African languages into English or other languages, as it accurately conveys the intended pronunciation and phonetic characteristics. Its usage is important in linguistic contexts where precise phonetic representation is necessary, such as dialectology, phonetics, and linguistic anthropology.
