Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+000E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000
to0x007f
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 7 bits within the final 8 bits and that it will have the format:0xxxxxxx
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+000E to binary:
00001110
. 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:
00001110

Description
The Unicode character U+000E (character 000E) is a control character called Character Tabulation (HT) or Horizontal Tab. It is primarily used in digital text processing to align text content horizontally, serving an essential role in formatting and layout. This is achieved by moving the cursor to the next tab stop position when using word processors or programming code editors, ensuring text columns are properly aligned. This character is widely employed across various languages and operating systems, demonstrating its versatility and importance in digital communication. Character 000E belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block, a fundamental part of the Unicode system that covers characters from U+0000 to U+007F. This range encompasses essential characters like control codes and special symbols, indispensable for applications such as programming languages, text documents, and various other digital platforms. The Basic Latin Unicode block serves as the foundation for many other Unicode blocks due to its extensive inclusion of common characters necessary for cross-platform communication. Although its roots lie in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved over time to cater to modern needs and continues to play an integral part in contemporary digital communication. The character 000E specifically finds relevance in typography, text editing systems, and computer programming, reflecting its significance across multiple technical contexts.
