Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AF1. 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+1AF1 to binary:
00011010 11110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1AF1 is a specialized symbol used primarily in digital text for its unique encoding value. It does not have any typical usage or role in text formatting, as it lies within the private use area of Unicode, which is reserved for characters that are not assigned general purpose meaning or usage. This means that its cultural, linguistic, or technical context is quite limited. The U+1AF1 character, like others in the private use area, can be used for custom or proprietary purposes, such as within a specific application, software, or system, but it is not widely recognized or utilized for general communication or information sharing. As a result, its primary significance lies in its unique identification rather than any inherent meaning or function.
