Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CD4. 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+0CD4 to binary:
00001100 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CD4 is a unique symbol with specific applications in digital text. This character is primarily used to represent the Greek letter "µ", which is known as "mu" in English. In the context of linguistics, it plays an essential role in various branches of mathematics, science, and engineering where Greek letters are employed for their phonetic value or to denote specific concepts. For instance, in chemistry, the term "molarity" involves the usage of this character to signify a unit of concentration. It is also found in mathematical equations as a symbol for micro, denoting one millionth of a unit. In terms of cultural significance, the Greek alphabet, from which this character originates, has been a cornerstone of human civilization since its emergence in approximately 800 BC. The use of U+0CD4 reflects the continued importance of ancient scripts in modern digital communication and the versatility of Unicode in accommodating an extensive range of characters from different languages and cultural backgrounds.
