Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20F6. 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+20F6 to binary:
00100000 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+20F6 (CHARACTER 20F6) is a lesser-known code point within the Unicode Standard, which encompasses a vast range of characters for digital text representation across different languages and scripts. This specific character does not seem to have any significant role or typical usage in digital text, as there are no widely recognized symbols, punctuation marks, or other typographical elements associated with U+20F6 in the context of written communication. It is important to note that Unicode continually expands its coverage and updates its standard, meaning that characters like U+20F6 may not yet have been assigned a definitive function or may be used in highly specialized applications within particular cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. In any case, accuracy and precision are paramount when working with digital text, ensuring proper encoding and decoding of information to maintain the integrity of communication across different platforms and devices.
