Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+208F. 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+208F to binary:
00100000 10001111. 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:
11100010 10000010 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+208F, also known as CHARACTER 208F, holds a unique place within the vast expanse of typography and digital text. This particular character does not have any well-established usage in digital text or typing systems. It remains unused and unassigned in the Unicode standard, indicating that it has no specific role or function at this time. While it resides within the realm of the Unicode system, which facilitates the accurate representation of characters from virtually all written languages on computer systems, CHARACTER 208F does not currently contribute to any cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. It is worth noting that the Unicode Consortium periodically updates and expands the standard, so this character could potentially gain a role or function in digital text in the future.
