Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AD8. 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+1AD8 to binary:
00011010 11011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+1AD8 represents the "CHARACTER 1AD8" in digital text. This character is currently unassigned and does not have a specific role or usage within typography, language, or cultural contexts. Unicode assigns a unique code point to each character, emoji, symbol, and glyph, enabling computers to process and display a vast array of text forms from different languages and scripts. However, until an assignment is given to the U+1AD8 code point, it remains without a defined function or purpose in typography or digital communication. As such, further research into potential uses or cultural significance for the CHARACTER 1AD8 may be necessary when an appropriate value is eventually assigned by Unicode Consortium.
