Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1C8B. 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+1C8B to binary:
00011100 10001011. 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 10110010 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C8B (CHARACTER 1C8B) plays a significant role in the realm of digital text by serving as a unique identifier for specific characters or symbols within the Unicode Standard. This particular character code falls under the category of "Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms" which encompasses characters that are used to replace full-width characters in Japanese typography, often seen in East Asian languages. The CHARACTER 1C8B is part of the subset of "Halfwidth Katakana Characters," designed to harmonize text formatting when translating between languages or adapting for different writing systems. In this context, U+1C8B serves as a valuable tool for ensuring smooth and coherent communication across digital platforms, particularly in East Asian languages that use both full-width and half-width characters.
