Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+209F. 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+209F to binary:
00100000 10011111. 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:
11100010 10000010 10011111

Description
U+209F is a unique Unicode character that holds specific roles in the realm of digital text. As a typographical element, it is primarily used to represent a 'Combining Tilde Below'. This character is typically combined with other letters or symbols, modifying their appearance by adding a tilde below them, which may be employed to emphasize certain linguistic nuances or cultural aspects in written language. While its usage might not be as commonplace as other Unicode characters, it serves an important purpose in specific cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. In these contexts, U+209F is instrumental in delivering accurate and expressive digital text representation, enhancing the communication of ideas and information across different languages and scripts. The precision and specificity of this character within Unicode demonstrate the vast range of available typographical elements to cater to diverse linguistic needs.
