Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C57. 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+0C57 to binary:
00001100 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+0C57 is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically representing the Cyrillic Capital Letter Shch (Ш). This letter plays an essential role in digital text, particularly in languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian and other East Slavic languages. The character is not just a visual representation but also carries linguistic significance, as it represents a specific phoneme or sound in these languages. It is important to note that U+0C57 has no direct equivalent in the Latin alphabet, further emphasizing its importance within Cyrillic-based languages. In terms of technical context, U+0C57 follows the rules and guidelines set by the Unicode Standard, ensuring consistent encoding and interpretation across various digital platforms and systems.
