Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C5C. 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+0C5C to binary:
00001100 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+0C5C is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Shwa Sign. In digital text, it serves as an indicator of the unstressed vowel 'ə' or schwa sound in the Cyrillic alphabet. This character is predominantly used in languages like Kazakh and Kyrgyz, where it plays a crucial role in differentiating vowels within words. U+0C5C is part of the Extended Cyrillic block in Unicode, which encompasses additional characters beyond the basic Latin script to support more complex languages and writing systems. Due to its cultural and linguistic significance, understanding this character and its usage contributes to the accurate representation and transcription of these languages in digital environments.
