Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C50. 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+0C50 to binary:
00001100 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0C50, also known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S, holds significant importance in digital text. It is often used in various applications to represent a distinct phoneme or sound in specific languages, mainly Irish and some other Gaelic languages. Its role is crucial as it helps maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital communication. The character has its roots in the Latin script but stands out due to its unique slanted stroke resembling a sharp s. While not widely used across global text, it holds a vital place within communities where it is utilized, highlighting the richness and diversity of Unicode's character set that allows for accurate representation of multiple languages and dialects.
