Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CD8. 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+0CD8 to binary:
00001100 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0CD8 (character 0CD8) holds a unique position in the realm of digital text. It is specifically associated with the encoding of an En Quadrat Im Zeichen (EZ) character, which is used primarily within German-speaking regions. This character symbolizes the combination of a capital E and a capital Z, both uppercase letters from the Latin alphabet. Typically utilized in digital text to represent the compound letter EZ, this character has been widely adopted in various contexts such as programming languages, computer coding, and digital document formatting for its precise representation of this specific combination. It is essential to note that U+0CD8 holds no intrinsic meaning on its own; it gains significance within the broader cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts in which it appears. Its primary role lies in enabling accurate digital encoding and representation of the compound letter EZ when necessary.
