Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A1C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+1A1C to binary:
00011010 00011100
. 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 10101000 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1A1C represents a specific symbol in the Unicode Standard. It is primarily used as a codepoint for digital typography, serving as a unique identifier for a particular glyph or character in various text encoding systems. Although it may not have any direct association with a widely recognized cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its presence in the Unicode Standard highlights the extensive range of characters available for use across multiple languages and platforms. It is crucial to note that this character's typical usage within digital text remains relatively limited due to its less-common status in comparison to other more prevalent Unicode characters. However, its existence signifies the continuous effort to expand and encompass a broader array of symbols, ensuring a comprehensive representation of diverse scripts, languages, and cultural expressions in the realm of typography and text encoding.
