Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EA4. 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+0EA4 to binary:
00001110 10100100
. 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 10111010 10100100

Description
U+0EA4 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the Cyrillic letter "І" (capital "I"). This letter is primarily used in the Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian alphabets, where it holds an important role in phonetic representation. In Ukrainian, for example, it represents the sound /i/, while in Bulgarian and Macedonian, it denotes the same or similar sounds as well. The Cyrillic script is a writing system that originated in the First Bulgarian Empire around the 9th century AD, which makes U+0EA4 deeply rooted in Slavic linguistic and cultural history. Today, U+0EA4 plays a significant part in digital text processing and communication, facilitating the accurate transmission of text across different platforms and devices.
