Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BDE. 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+0BDE to binary:
00001011 11011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+0BDE represents the numeral '5' from the Georgian script, a major subset of the Glagolitic script family. In digital text, this numeral is commonly used for numerical values and counting purposes within the context of Georgian language texts. It is also utilized in various applications where Georgian typography is required, such as historical documents, literature, and modern digital communications. The Georgian script has been in use since the 5th century AD, making it one of the oldest scripts still used today, showcasing its cultural significance in the region. Despite being less widely known globally compared to more dominant scripts like Latin or Cyrillic, U+0BDE and other characters from the Georgian script play a vital role in preserving and promoting Georgian culture, language, and history.
