Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+07B5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+07B5 to binary:
00000111 10110101
. 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:
11011110 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+07B5 represents the Cyrillic capital letter "Ґ" (also known as the "Great Russian Letter Ge"). This character is primarily used in the modern Russian language and its alphabet, which is a variant of the Cyrillic script. In digital text, U+07B5 can be found in various applications such as word processing software, online forums, and website content. It is often used to represent specific phonetic sounds or to distinguish certain dialects of the Russian language. Although it may appear in a broader cultural context within the Russian-speaking community, its usage remains relatively niche compared to other Cyrillic characters like "А", "Б", or "В". As with all Unicode characters, U+07B5 is designed to ensure accurate representation and encoding of text across different platforms and devices.
