Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AFF. 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+1AFF to binary:
00011010 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+1AFF, also known as CHARACTER 1AFF, serves a specific purpose in the realm of digital text encoding. This character is classified under the "Miscellaneous Technical" category, which comprises symbols that facilitate technical communication and are not intended for general use in text. U+1AFF does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or specific technical context associated with it. It may be used as a placeholder or for internal purposes within software applications. Given its limited scope of application, CHARACTER 1AFF is not widely recognized and does not play a prominent role in the world of typography and text encoding. However, it remains an important component for certain technical contexts where precise control over character encoding is required.
