Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C73. 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+0C73 to binary:
00001100 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+0C73 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the letter "Ĕ" (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH ACUTE). This character is commonly used in digital text to represent the acute-accented version of the English alphabet letter 'E' in various languages, particularly in Latin script. It often appears in loanwords and proper nouns from languages like French, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese that incorporate diacritical marks to distinguish sounds or maintain pronunciation when adapted into other languages. The use of U+0C73 adheres to the Unicode Standard's goals of providing a unique code point for every character, regardless of platform, program, or language, thus promoting consistency and interoperability in digital text processing.
