Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CDA. 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+0CDA to binary:
00001100 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+0CDA represents the Latin letter "O" with a macron (Ɔ) in the Extended Latin alphabet block. This character is commonly used in digital text for phonetic transcription, particularly in African languages such as Bambara and Fula, where it denotes a long or nasalized "o" sound. The macron (̅) over the letter indicates that the vowel should be pronounced longer than its counterpart without the macron. The U+0CDA character is essential for accurate transcription and representation of these languages' pronunciation and intonation in digital text, ensuring clarity and proper communication. In linguistic and cultural studies, this character plays a significant role in preserving the unique phonetic characteristics of these African languages in written form.
