Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AFC. 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+1AFC to binary:
00011010 11111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+1AFC, known as the Character 1AFC, is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text communication, specifically within the realm of Unicode, an encoding system used to represent characters from diverse writing systems. In digital text, this character is often employed to denote specific symbols or markers for various purposes such as delimiters, punctuation, or control characters. Although U+1AFC does not possess a direct association with any particular cultural or linguistic contexts, it serves as an essential tool in the efficient and effective handling of digital text data. Due to its technical nature, U+1AFC is primarily used by developers, programmers, and technologists who work extensively with Unicode systems.
