Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CDF. 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+0CDF to binary:
00001100 11011111
. 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 10011111

Description
U+0CDF is a Unicode character that represents the letter "ĥ". This character is primarily used in digital text for its specific role within various languages and scripts. Although it may not have a widely recognized cultural or linguistic context, it plays an important technical role as part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or emoji in the world's writing systems. In digital text, U+0CDF can be used to accurately represent the "ĥ" letter in text processing, encoding, and display applications. This ensures that documents, websites, and software programs can correctly interpret and present text with this specific character, thus preserving its intended meaning and preventing miscommunication or errors.
