Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EE4. 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+0EE4 to binary:
00001110 11100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+0EE4 is a rare and less commonly used typographic symbol. It holds a significant role in digital text, especially for those working with less common languages or scripts. In particular, it serves as a vital component for the Lithuanian alphabet, representing the phoneme /ɫ/ when capitalized (U+0135) and the phoneme /l/ when lowercase (U+0143). As such, its usage is primarily found in the context of Lithuanian language processing, where it helps maintain linguistic accuracy and facilitates effective communication. Although this character may not be as widely used or familiar to many, it remains an essential element for those working with the Lithuanian language or similar scripts that utilize these specific phonemes.
