Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C54. 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+0C54 to binary:
00001100 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
U+0C54 is a Unicode character with the code point 0x0C54. It represents the Cyrillic capital letter "И" (iota), which is used in various Slavic languages, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian. The Cyrillic script is a writing system that originated in the First Bulgarian Empire around AD 893 during the Christianization of the Bulgarian Empire under Simeon I. This character holds an important role in digital text by allowing for accurate representation of these languages on modern devices and platforms. It is essential for maintaining linguistic integrity and promoting cultural understanding as more people communicate across language barriers. The Cyrillic script is also used in many non-Slavic languages, including Georgian and several languages of the Caucasus region, showcasing its adaptability and widespread usage in typography.
