Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DFE. 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+0DFE to binary:
00001101 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+0DFE is a special character with significant cultural, linguistic, and technical implications. In digital text, it serves as a surrogate character to represent the letter "P" in the Cyrillic script, particularly in languages such as Ukrainian and Bulgarian. This character is part of the Unicode Extended-A block, which covers characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) and includes various symbols, punctuation marks, and letters from non-Latin scripts. The role of U+0DFE in digital text is essential for accurate representation of these languages, as it allows users to read and interact with content in their native script. The character's cultural significance lies in its use within the Cyrillic script, which has been used for centuries in various Slavic and Eastern European languages. Its linguistic importance lies in facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage through digital means. In terms of technical context, U+0DFE is part of a broader effort to expand Unicode coverage to include less-common scripts and languages. This contributes to the overall goal of promoting global communication and understanding by ensuring that all languages have an equal opportunity for representation in digital text.
