Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1BFA. 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+1BFA to binary:
00011011 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+1BFA is a lesser-known Unicode character, often used in Digital Typography. Although it may not have widespread use, it plays an essential role in certain text encodings and character set standards. Its primary function lies in representing control signals in telecommunications systems, where it acts as a termination character. In this context, U+1BFA ensures that data transmission is complete and no further data will be transmitted until the receiving end acknowledges receipt of all previously sent data. It has been used in various early computer systems, modems, and network protocols for communication control purposes. Despite its specialized role, U+1BFA remains an important character in the realm of digital text and telecommunications technology, highlighting the extensive diversity and utility of Unicode's vast array of characters.
