Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AF4. 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+1AF4 to binary:
00011010 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+1AF4 is a rare symbol that holds significant importance in digital typography and text representation. This particular character is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block, which comprises various miscellaneous symbols used for specialized purposes across different languages and scripts. U+1AF4 is not commonly found in everyday usage due to its specific function. In terms of cultural or linguistic context, U+1AF4 does not have any direct association with a particular language or region. However, it may be employed in technical documents or coding systems where specialized symbols are required for specific purposes, such as illustrating mathematical formulas, representing scientific notation, or conveying specific information within a highly specialized field. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is crucial to understand the importance of every character and symbol within the vast Unicode standard. U+1AF4, while not widely known or employed, plays a vital role in digital text by offering flexibility and diversity in symbols available for use across multiple languages, scripts, and disciplines. Its presence in the Unicode repertoire demonstrates the comprehensive nature of the standard, designed to accommodate a wide range of typographic needs and ensure accurate representation of data in digital environments.
