Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1BF8. 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+1BF8 to binary:
00011011 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+1BF8 is a Unicode character with the code point 1BF8, which falls within the Private Use Area (PUA) range of the Unicode Standard. This area is reserved for characters that are not assigned to any specific script or language, allowing users and organizations to define their own unique symbols and glyphs. In digital text, U+1BF8 typically serves as a placeholder or delimiter for custom typographical elements in software applications, programming languages, and digital documents where standardized Unicode characters may be insufficient or unsuitable for the specific use case. Due to its position within the PUA, U+1BF8 does not have any inherent cultural, linguistic, or technical significance and is generally used for private or proprietary purposes. Users of the Unicode Standard must consult the relevant documentation or specifications provided by the character's creators in order to determine its intended usage or meaning.
