Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+31E8. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+31E8 to binary:
00110001 11101000
. 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:
11100011 10000111 10101000

Description
U+31E8 is a unique character in the Unicode system, primarily used in digital text for its specific purpose within certain languages and contexts. This particular character holds significant importance due to its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance. It plays an essential role in facilitating accurate representation of certain scripts, providing users with a more authentic experience when reading or writing in these languages. However, U+31E8 is not widely recognized for its use in everyday digital communication, as it serves a specialized function within niche linguistic contexts. Nevertheless, its presence in the Unicode system reflects the system's commitment to inclusivity and providing support for a diverse range of languages and scripts.
