Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C5B. 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+0C5B to binary:
00001100 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+0C5B is a representation of the letter "Ꜥ" in digital text, commonly known as the Cyrillic capital letter Yeru with descender. It primarily serves its role in written forms of the Russian language and other Cyrillic-based languages where it represents the /j/ sound. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, this character is used predominantly within the Russian literary tradition and has no direct counterpart in Latin-based scripts. From a technical standpoint, U+0C5B belongs to the Cyrillic script extension block of Unicode, which comprises characters necessary for transcribing languages such as Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and others that use the Cyrillic alphabet. The character is used both in digital text processing systems and printed materials and plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity within these contexts.
