Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20F1. 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+20F1 to binary:
00100000 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+20F1 is a typographical symbol known as the "Right-to-Left Mark" (RLM). In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in determining the direction of text flow for languages that are written right-to-left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. By marking a position in the text where right-to-left text should begin, U+20F1 facilitates proper rendering and layout in typesetting systems. Its application is vital to ensure accurate representation of these languages' scripts, enhancing readability and comprehension for speakers of such languages who engage with digital content.
