Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CFC. 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+0CFC to binary:
00001100 11111100
. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CFC is a lesser-known code point that represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER WITH TILDE AND ACUTE" (CHARACTER 0CFC). It is a specialized character primarily used in digital text for representing certain accented uppercase letters, specifically those with both a tilde and an acute accent. In typography and linguistics, this character is significant as it helps to distinguish between similar-looking letters and provides clarity in contexts where the same letter might have different meanings or pronunciations. The U+0CFC character can be found in various regional languages and is used to ensure accurate representation of text in those specific linguistic contexts.
