Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FE4. 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+0FE4 to binary:
00001111 11100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+0FE4 is a letter from the Cyrillic script, specifically representing the uppercase "Ч" or "Cherkesskiy Sign". It is used in several languages, including Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian, where it holds the 25th position in the alphabet. Its primary role in digital text is to maintain and express linguistic and cultural diversity by enabling accurate representation of these languages on digital platforms. The character is particularly significant in the Cherkessian culture as it forms part of their unique Cyrillic-based script, which has been in use since the 1920s. As digital communication continues to grow, ensuring the availability of such unique characters plays a crucial role in maintaining and fostering cultural identity online.
