Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17EA. 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+17EA to binary:
00010111 11101010
. 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:
11100001 10011111 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+17EA is a special character used primarily for digital typography purposes. It represents the Cyrillic letter "Ye" (Ю), which is part of the Russian alphabet, belonging to the Cyrillic script family. The Cyrillic script has been widely used in various languages including Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and others. In a digital text context, U+17EA helps preserve the correct spelling and pronunciation of words in these languages when displayed or processed by software applications and systems that support the Unicode standard. The character "Ю" has no specific cultural or linguistic significance beyond its role as a basic letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. However, it is crucial for accurate text representation and understanding in languages where it is used.
