Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DE1. 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+0DE1 to binary:
00001101 11100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+0DE1 is a unique typographical symbol known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Er (Ч). This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within languages that employ the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian. In these languages, it represents the consonant sound "ER" or a hard 'R' sound. U+0DE1 is often used in proper nouns, place names, and surnames where its specific phonetic characteristics are crucial for accurate pronunciation and understanding. Its usage in digital text is ubiquitous, thanks to the widespread adoption of Unicode, which facilitates seamless communication across various languages and platforms. The character U+0DE1 maintains a vital role within digital text systems due to its contribution to linguistic precision and the preservation of cultural heritage through the Cyrillic script.
