Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DFC. 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+0DFC to binary:
00001101 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+0DFC represents the character "Zhuyin Mu Bai Jia" (ㄨ) in the Zhuyin (Bopomofo) system of phonetic transcription used in the writing of Mandarin Chinese. This syllabic script was developed during the early 20th century as a teaching tool to help simplify the complex process of learning Chinese characters and assist in literacy education. In digital text, U+0DFC is commonly utilized within Zhuyin input methods, enabling users to quickly and accurately input Mandarin pronunciation through a combination of Zhuyin characters and tone marks. While its primary use is in the context of Mandarin Chinese, the character ㄨ has no specific cultural or linguistic significance beyond its phonetic value, making it an essential component in the Zhuyin system for those learning or using this language.
