Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C49. 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+0C49 to binary:
00001100 01001001
. 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 10110001 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0C49 represents the letter 'Š' (capital "S" with a line over it). It is commonly used in digital text to represent this particular letter within various languages, specifically Lithuanian, Latvian, and Old Church Slavic. In these languages, the letter 'Š' serves as a phonetic symbol for the [ʃ] sound, which is a voiced postalveolar fricative. This character holds cultural significance in Lithuania and Latvia, where it plays an essential role in their respective orthographies. U+0C49 is encoded within the "Latin Extended-A" Unicode block, which contains additional Latin characters used in various European languages.
