Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AE4. 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+1AE4 to binary:
00011010 11100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1AE4 (CHARACTER 1AE4) plays a significant role in digital text, serving as a unique identifier for a specific symbol within the vast universe of typography. Its typical usage lies primarily in the realm of software development and data management systems where it is employed to facilitate efficient processing and representation of characters in various applications and platforms. In the context of cultural, linguistic, or technical aspects, U+1AE4 does not hold any significant prominence as it is not associated with any specific language or character set. It is purely a numerical designation that represents a unique code point within the Unicode standard, which encompasses over 140,000 characters from diverse scripts and languages. While U+1AE4 may appear inconsequential at first glance, it contributes to the accuracy, coherence, and functionality of text in digital environments by providing a consistent and universal way for computers to interpret and display characters.
