Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EDB. 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+0EDB to binary:
00001110 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 10111011 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+0EDB holds a significant role within the realm of typography and digital text representation. Primarily employed as a diacritical mark, it is used to indicate specific pronunciation or grammatical variations in certain languages, particularly those belonging to the Slavic family. One notable example is its usage in Serbian Cyrillic, where U+0EDB (character 0EDB) serves as a palatalization indicator for consonants, altering their pronunciation and meaning. This diacritical mark plays an essential role in maintaining the linguistic integrity of these languages by accurately conveying their nuanced phonetic structures. Overall, U+0EDB is a vital element in the field of typography, ensuring clear communication and preserving cultural identities within digital texts.
