Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CDB. 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+0CDB to binary:
00001100 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+0CDB is a Unicode character that represents the letter "Ș" (capital letter Sh sharp). It plays an essential role in digital text, specifically in the Romanian alphabet, where it is used to represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound. In the context of typography, the letter Ș is a key element of the Latin script and has cultural significance for Romanian speakers. It is also used in other languages that adopt the Latin script with diacritics, such as Aromanian and Moldovan. In terms of technical context, U+0CDB is part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the accurate representation and interchange of text across different platforms and devices.
