Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⱶ has the Unicode code point U+2C76. 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+2C76 to binary:
00101100 01110110
. 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:
11100010 10110001 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2C76, also known as LATIN SMALL LETTER HALF H, is a unique typographic symbol used in digital text representation. It serves as a half-width counterpart of the capital letter 'H', primarily employed in Japanese and East Asian languages to enable efficient typing on devices with limited keyboards. Its role is crucial in these language systems, allowing for smoother and faster text input by representing a condensed form of the character 'H'. The LATIN SMALL LETTER HALF H has no specific cultural or linguistic context outside of its technical function, making it an essential element in digital communications within the aforementioned languages.
