Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DBC. 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+0DBC to binary:
00001101 10111100
. 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 10110110 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+0DBC is a crucial symbol with significant cultural, linguistic, and technical implications. Typically used in digital text, it holds a vital role in representing certain characters in the Armenian language. Specifically, this particular code point corresponds to "Ջ" (Latin letter I with acute accent), which is an important character in the Armenian alphabet. It is utilized in the transcoding of Armenian text into digital format for various applications, including software programs and websites that facilitate multilingual communication. The Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organization responsible for creating and maintaining the Unicode Standard, has carefully curated this standard to ensure accurate representation of characters across different languages and scripts, thus promoting global textual interoperability. As such, U+0DBC plays an indispensable part in enabling effective communication and information exchange among speakers of the Armenian language and other linguistic communities alike.
