Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AF6. 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+1AF6 to binary:
00011010 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+1AF6 is a unique Unicode character with the code point 1AF6. In digital text, this character serves as a specific symbol within certain typographical contexts. The character has no direct linguistic significance, meaning it does not represent any letter, number, or punctuation mark in any known language. However, its use can be found in specialized technical documentation and coding environments, often signifying a particular function, variable, or data type in programming languages or computer applications. While its usage is limited and not widely recognized, U+1AF6 plays an essential role for specific niche communities involved in digital text encoding and manipulation. Its presence underscores the versatility and comprehensiveness of Unicode in representing characters from a wide array of scripts, symbols, and other typographical elements.
