Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AE2. 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+1AE2 to binary:
00011010 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+1AE2 is a unique symbol with a specific role in digital typography. It is not part of any widely used language script, nor does it have significant cultural or linguistic significance. This character's primary function lies in its use as a Unicode control picture, which allows for the identification and visual representation of control characters within text data. In this capacity, U+1AE2 serves as an essential tool for programmers and developers who work with diverse coding languages and text encodings. By providing a clear visual indication of control characters, it helps maintain the integrity and readability of digital texts across various platforms and applications. Despite its limited usage in everyday communication, U+1AE2 plays a crucial role in the technical realm of Unicode and digital typography.
