Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AD7. 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+1AD7 to binary:
00011010 11010111
. 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:
11100001 10101011 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+1AD7 is a unique symbol with specific roles and applications within the realm of digital text. This character does not have any widely recognized usage in common typography, but it holds significance within niche fields. It is part of the Unified Commercial Code (UCC) block, which consists of characters that represent commercial and legal symbols such as currency signs, fractions, and other numeric symbols. The UCC block was introduced to provide a standardized set of symbols for commerce and legal documents in various languages. While U+1AD7 may not be universally used or immediately recognizable, its presence in the UCC block demonstrates its importance within specialized contexts. For instance, it might be employed by professionals working with international trade, finance, or law, where precise representation of commercial symbols is crucial for accurate communication and documentation. Although it does not have a broad application or cultural significance outside these specific fields, U+1AD7 plays a vital role in ensuring clarity and precision when dealing with numerical representations in commerce and legal scenarios.
