Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EFC. 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+0EFC to binary:
00001110 11111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+0EFC is a Unicode character representing the letter 'Ə' (Latin letter Apostrophe), commonly used in the Azerbaijani, Tatar, and Uzbek languages. This letter is an apostrophe-like character that serves as a distinct consonant and has been incorporated into these languages to represent a specific phonetic sound, differentiating it from the English apostrophe used for contraction or possession. In digital text, the usage of U+0EFC ensures accurate representation of words in Azerbaijani, Tatar, and Uzbek languages, preserving their linguistic integrity and facilitating communication among speakers of these languages.
