Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+086F. 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+086F to binary:
00001000 01101111
. 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 10100001 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+086F (CHARACTER 086F) is a less commonly used symbol in the digital text realm. While it may not have an immediate recognizable function, it does have its own unique role when utilized. In certain programming contexts or specialized applications, this character might be employed for specific purposes such as control codes or metadata markers. It is important to note that characters like U+086F are often associated with legacy systems or less common encoding standards. While this character may not have a widespread usage in modern digital text, it serves as an interesting example of the vast range of symbols and characters available within the Unicode Standard, which works to ensure consistent representation across diverse languages and scripts.
