Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BC9. 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+0BC9 to binary:
00001011 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0BC9, also known as CHARACTER 0BC9, is an important figure in the world of typography and digital text representation. This character holds a unique role as it serves as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Em with Descender (Cyrillic Letters with Descenders). Its primary usage lies within Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian. The descender is an essential part of this character, enabling a smooth flow in reading by ensuring correct vertical alignment with other letters in the text. The descender refers to the lower part of the letter that extends below the baseline. While it may seem like a minor detail, the descender plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and readability of the Cyrillic script. Thus, U+0BC9 is a fundamental component in preserving linguistic identity, cultural continuity, and facilitating communication among speakers of languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet.
