Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+001D. 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+001D to binary:
00011101
. 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:
00011101

Description
The Unicode character U+001D (CHARACTER 001D), also known as the 'Line Feed' (LF) character, is a control character primarily used in digital text to start a new line of text. It plays an essential role in computer systems and devices that process text data, particularly in telecommunications and programming languages, facilitating efficient text processing and display formatting. Although U+001D may not have significant cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts beyond its function as a control character, it is a vital component of the Basic Latin Unicode block, which forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks essential for digital communication. The LF character is part of the Basic Multilingual Plane and represents one of the 128 characters in this crucial component of the Unicode system that span from U+0000 to U+007F, encompassing a wide variety of characters, including control codes and special symbols.
