Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CC9. 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+0CC9 to binary:
00001100 11001001. 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 10110011 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0CC9 holds significance as the Modifier Letter A below A (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH STROKE). In digital text, this character is often employed in various language scripts that require specific typographic modifications to Latin letters. Its primary function lies within the N'Ko script, an alphabetic writing system used predominantly in Guinea Conakry and Sierra Leone for the N'Ko language. The Modifier Letter A below A (U+0CC9) serves as a diacritical mark that combines with other letters to create unique characters within this script. This character is crucial to maintaining linguistic accuracy, cultural context, and readability in texts written using the N'Ko script. Its accurate usage is essential for promoting effective communication and preserving linguistic heritage.
