Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DE2. 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+0DE2 to binary:
00001101 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+0DE2 is a specialized character in the Unicode system, representing an important element in digital typography. Its primary role lies within the realm of linguistics and cultural expression, as it belongs to the Cyrillic script. Specifically, this character is used in the Ukrainian language, where it represents the sound "і" in the phonetic alphabet. This particular letter has a diacritical mark called the soft sign, which denotes palatalization of consonants that follow this character in a word. In digital text, U+0DE2 is instrumental in accurately translating and conveying meaning within Ukrainian texts, as it allows for precise representation of the language's phonetic nuances. This character plays an essential part in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural identity of Ukrainian speakers in both written and digital communication.
