Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EE2. 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+0EE2 to binary:
00001110 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+0EE2 represents the letter "Ų" (uppercase) and "ų" (lowercase). This character is primarily used in the Lithuanian, Latvian, Old Church Slavic, and Old Prussian languages, where it denotes a unique phoneme or sound. In digital text, this character serves to accurately represent these distinct sounds, maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating accurate communication across language barriers. As an example, in Lithuanian, the uppercase "Ų" is used at the beginning of words, while the lowercase "ų" is used within words. The character U+0EE2 plays a crucial role in preserving the uniqueness of these languages and enabling their proper representation in digital text formats.
