Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EDA. 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+0EDA to binary:
00001110 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 10111011 10011010

Description
U+0EDA is a rare character in Unicode that holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text encoding. This unique character represents the letter "ƍ" (uppercase) or "ꞃ" (lowercase) in the Latin Extended-A or Cyrillic script, depending on its position in the text and surrounding characters. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in preserving and transmitting information that may have cultural, linguistic, or technical implications. The character U+0EDA has been largely associated with Azerbaijani, Kurdish, and Uzbek languages where it serves as an essential element for their respective scripts. Although not commonly used, it maintains its significance in these languages as a vital part of the writing system. Its presence in digital text helps maintain the authenticity and integrity of documents or communications written in these languages, ensuring proper representation and understanding. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, U+0EDA is primarily used to support specific language requirements. It enables accurate encoding and decoding of texts, promoting communication and preserving the unique characteristics of the Azerbaijani, Kurdish, and Uzbek scripts in the digital realm. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is essential to be aware of characters like U+0EDA, as they contribute to the richness and diversity of human language expression in the digital world.
