Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DC9. 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+0DC9 to binary:
00001101 11001001
. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0DC9 is a Latin letter with a diacritic. It represents the lowercase letter "Ç" (Latin small letter C with cedilla), which is commonly used in languages such as Turkish, French, and Portuguese. In digital text, this character is primarily used to represent the 'Ç' sound, a voiced palatal plosive or affricate, depending on the linguistic context. The diacritic (the little vertical line under the letter) is essential to differentiate "Ç" from "C", as they have distinct phonetic and orthographic values in certain languages. The character U+0DC9 holds significance in both cultural and linguistic aspects, as it enables accurate representation of words and phrases that rely on this specific sound. In terms of technical context, the use of this character adheres to Unicode standards, ensuring consistency and compatibility across various digital platforms and applications.
