Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E7C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+0E7C to binary:
00001110 01111100
. 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 10111001 10111100

Description
U+0E7C is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically in the Extended Sudanese script block. It represents the consonant "k" with a following high tone marker, which is used in the Nilo-Saharan family of languages spoken across Africa. In digital text, this character serves to accurately depict and transcribe the sounds and nuances of these languages, enabling better communication and preservation of cultural heritage. The use of U+0E7C in linguistic research and documentation is crucial for understanding the rich linguistic diversity and historical development of the Sudanese languages. This character also plays a vital role in software development, where it enables accurate display and encoding of texts written in these languages on digital devices and platforms.
