Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CD9. 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+0CD9 to binary:
00001100 11011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+0CD9 is known as the MODIFIER LETTER TILDE O (LATIN SMALL LETTER TILDE WITH STROKE). This typographical symbol primarily serves a functional role in digital text, particularly in linguistic and cultural contexts where it is used to modify certain letters by adding an accent. In particular, the character is used to provide the stroke-through accent for the letter 'o' in the Esperanto language, as well as in other languages that utilize the Latin script with additional diacritics. The U+0CD9 character helps convey important linguistic nuances and variations in pronunciation, tone, or meaning. Although its usage may be less common in everyday digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing various languages and dialects where such accents are essential to the proper understanding of words and phrases.
