Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CCE. 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+0CCE to binary:
00001100 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
U+0CCE is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text. This character code represents the letter "Š" (U+0169), which is a capital letter of the Slovenian alphabet. It's also used in the Latin alphabets of several other languages, including Czech and Upper Sorbian. In these languages, it signifies a distinct phonetic sound not present in English or other major European languages. This character is crucial for accurate digital text representation in documents, websites, and software applications that support Slovenian or related languages. It's especially important in the context of cultural preservation and linguistic accuracy, ensuring these lesser-spoken languages are not lost or misrepresented in the digital sphere.
