Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EEF. 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+0EEF to binary:
00001110 11101111
. 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 10101111

Description
U+0EEF is a rare and unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the Cyrillic letter 'Ы' (Yeru). This character is primarily used in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian. In digital text, it serves an essential role by providing an accurate representation of this specific phonetic sound. Notably, the Yeru is a palatalized consonant, which means that it denotes a soft or unvoiced 'y' sound when pronounced. This character holds linguistic importance in various Slavic languages and plays a vital role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of digital text in these languages. Despite its rarity compared to other Unicode characters, U+0EEF is an essential element for accurate representation and preservation of cultural nuances within Cyrillic-based texts.
