Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20F4. 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+20F4 to binary:
00100000 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+20F4 is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard. It is classified as "Currency Symbol" and is specifically designated for the Korean Won (KRW). The currency symbol is used in digital text to display, identify and differentiate various currencies from one another. This helps in distinguishing between different monetary units and provides a clear understanding of financial transactions, monetary values, and economic data. In digital text, U+20F4 is often paired with the base currency symbol "KRW" to represent Korean Won, for instance, when listing exchange rates or prices. While this character is specific to the Korean Won, Unicode provides other characters such as U+20A1 (€) for Euro and U+20AF (₩) for Korean Won, which cater to different currencies across the world. Overall, U+20F4 plays a vital role in digital text by enabling precise representation of currency values, promoting accuracy, and fostering smooth communication in international trade and financial contexts.
