Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1C8C. 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+1C8C to binary:
00011100 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+1C8C is a unique and distinct character within the Unicode Standard, representing an important symbol in typography and digital text. As an abstract character without direct association to a specific language or script, its primary role lies in serving as an identifier, delimiter, or modifier for various linguistic elements or technical constructs. This versatile character can be found across a wide range of applications and industries, including but not limited to software development, data encoding, and digital communications. Due to its universal nature and lack of cultural or linguistic ties, U+1C8C offers an ideal solution for developers seeking a neutral, non-disruptive way to mark specific points in their code or data streams. While it may not hold the same level of prominence as other popular Unicode characters, U+1C8C remains a valuable tool in the ever-expanding realm of digital communication and typography.
