Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FDD. 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+0FDD to binary:
00001111 11011101. 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 10111111 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+0FDD (Character 0FDD) holds significant importance in the field of digital typography and encoding. It is predominantly utilized as a Linear B Syllable Character, serving an essential role within the Greek-related scripts. In particular, this character represents a specific syllabic sound in the ancient Linear B writing system, which was employed for Mycenaean Greek inscriptions found in the Bronze Age of Greece (around 1600-1100 BC). As such, U+0FDD helps maintain the linguistic integrity of historical texts and aids scholars in decoding ancient scripts. The inclusion of this character in modern digital text encoding systems ensures the accurate representation of these valuable historical artifacts, preserving cultural heritage for future generations to study and appreciate.
