Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BCF. 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+0BCF to binary:
00001011 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+0BCF is a special Unicode character that holds significant importance in the realm of digital typography. It represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter U (У) in the extended script block of the Unicode Standard, enabling its usage in text encoded with the Cyrillic alphabet. The Cyrillic script is predominantly used for various languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and Bulgarian, among others. In these languages, У serves as a key letter in forming words and phrases, playing a vital role in the accurate representation of their cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. Its presence allows for seamless communication and information exchange across regions where Cyrillic-based languages are spoken or written.
