Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BC4. 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+0BC4 to binary:
00001011 11000100. 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 10101111 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0BC4 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Shwa (ᄂ). This specific character is primarily used within the Mongolian script, which employs a unique set of characters that differ from the standard Latin alphabet. In Mongolian typography, the Shwa character serves as an initial consonant with no inherent vowel sound, requiring accompanying diacritical marks to denote vowels and further modify its pronunciation. As an essential element in the written Mongolian language, U+0BC4 plays a vital role in preserving linguistic traditions and enabling effective communication among native speakers. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures global accessibility and compatibility for digital texts, promoting cross-cultural exchange and understanding.
