Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BC5. 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+0BC5 to binary:
00001011 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0BC5 holds a significant place in the realm of typography and digital text. This character represents the Cyrillic capital letter "Ya" (Ukrainian/Russian Я), which is used to depict both vowel and consonant sounds in various Slavic languages, predominantly Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian. In these languages, it serves as a crucial element for expressing the nuanced phonetic distinctions that underpin meaningful communication. Culturally, the Cyrillic script has been instrumental in shaping the identities of nations like Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, where it has been widely adopted since its invention by the Slavs in the 9th century. In contemporary digital environments, U+0BC5 remains a vital component for accurately rendering these languages' text content across various platforms and devices. Technologically, U+0BC5 is encoded within the Unicode Standard, an essential system for encoding, storing, and manipulating text data from diverse writing systems. This enables seamless communication and information exchange across different digital platforms, thereby fostering global interconnectivity. Overall, U+0BC5 embodies both cultural significance and technical necessity in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.
