Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1BF5. 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+1BF5 to binary:
00011011 11110101. 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:
11100001 10101111 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1BF5 represents the "COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE" (CHARACTER 1BF5) in digital text. This character is primarily used in typography to enclose or surround other characters, numbers, or symbols with a circle for aesthetic or decorative purposes. The Combining Enclosing Circle is often applied in various cultural contexts such as in linguistic typography, where it may be employed to accentuate specific elements within text, or in the creation of emojis and emoticons. In technical terms, U+1BF5 can be combined with other characters by following it immediately after the character it encloses without any space or combining marks. It is important to note that this character must be followed by another character for its role as an enclosing circle to be visually apparent, and when combined, the resulting glyph should be rendered by compatible software, ensuring accurate and consistent representation across various devices and platforms.
