Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DC8. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 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+0DC8 to binary:
00001101 11001000. 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 10110111 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0DC8 represents the letter "Ɗ" (uppercase) and "ɗ" (lowercase), known as "D with stroke" in typography. This character is primarily used in the Gunganing language, which is spoken in parts of Nigeria. In digital text, it serves a crucial role in accurately representing the unique phonetic sound found in this language. U+0DC8 differs from other similar Unicode characters as it has a horizontal stroke that runs through the letter, signifying a specific pronunciation. Its use is limited to the Gunganing language and related dialects, making it a culturally significant character within its linguistic context.
