Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BD8. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0BD8 to binary:
00001011 11011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0BD8 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter YERU (Ye), which is used in various Eastern European languages such as Belarusian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Turkmen, and Uzbek. This letter, characterized by its distinct "Y" shape with a downward-pointing hook at the bottom, has a significant role in digital text systems, where it enables accurate representation of these languages in electronic media. Its presence in Unicode ensures that the Cyrillic script can be consistently encoded, transmitted, and displayed across different platforms and devices.
