Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DCB. 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+0DCB to binary:
00001101 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:
11100000 10110111 10001011

Description
U+0DCB is a character in the Unicode standard, representing a letter from the Extended Latin alphabet. Specifically, it corresponds to the uppercase form of the letter "S" with a ring above it (ꞃ). This character is primarily used in the writing systems of certain languages, such as the Votic language spoken by the Votic people in Russia and Latvia. In digital text, U+0DCB serves as an accurate representation of this specific letter, allowing for its correct usage across various platforms and devices. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that it can be consistently displayed and manipulated by modern computing systems, thus preserving its cultural and linguistic significance in digital contexts.
