Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20C8. 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+20C8 to binary:
00100000 11001000. 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 10000011 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+20C8 is known as the CHARACTER 20C8. This character holds an important role in digital text, specifically in the context of typography and text formatting. It represents a Specific Character in the Unicode Standard, which is the computing industry's standard for characters, symbols, and emojis that are used to display text in digital environments. U+20C8 is typically used in programming languages and text processing applications to signify an unspecified character or symbol. Its precise function depends on the context in which it is used, such as representing a non-standard character in various coding systems, or marking a placeholder for a character that will be inserted later in the text processing pipeline. There is no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with U+20C8. It's primarily an operational tool within digital environments and its significance lies in its ability to facilitate the correct handling of diverse characters and symbols.
