Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B8D. 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+0B8D to binary:
00001011 10001101. 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 10101110 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B8D represents a Cyrillic capital letter "Э". It is primarily used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Ukrainian and Bulgarian. In digital text, this character is commonly employed for proper nouns, names, and titles in these languages. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century, making it one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. As a result, U+0B8D carries significant historical and cultural importance, contributing to the rich linguistic heritage of the Slavic-speaking world.
