Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DF7. 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+0DF7 to binary:
00001101 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+0DF7 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, which represents the letter 'ʎ' in the Latin script. This letter is primarily used within the Occitan language, spoken predominantly in the region of Occitanie, located in the south of France and north of Spain. In digital text, it serves as an essential element for accurate transcription and representation of the Occitan dialects, enabling seamless communication among native speakers. Despite its specialized role, U+0DF7 remains a lesser-known character in the vast landscape of typography and Unicode characters due to the relatively limited scope of the Occitan language. Nonetheless, it plays a crucial part in preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage within the regions where Occitan is spoken.
