Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Nj has the Unicode code point U+01CB. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare 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+01CB to binary:
00000001 11001011. 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:
11000111 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+01CB, Latin Capital Letter N with Small Letter J, is a unique typographical representation that combines the uppercase "N" with the lowercase "j". This character is primarily used in digital text to denote the phonetic or orthographic features of certain languages and dialects where such combinations are meaningful. Its usage is often observed in linguistic studies, onomastics, and lexicography, serving as a useful tool for representing sounds, pronunciation, or specific language features that might not be otherwise expressible with the standard alphabet. The character's cultural, linguistic, and technical context may vary depending on its application, but it remains an essential component of comprehensive typographical systems, demonstrating the versatility and richness of Unicode in representing a wide array of characters and language nuances.
