Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character แ has the Unicode code point U+139E. 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+139E to binary:
00010011 10011110
. 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 10001110 10011110

Description
U+139E is a Unicode character with the code point value 139E, which corresponds to the character "๐ " in the Unified Code Points (U+) representation. This character belongs to the 'Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols' category within the Unicode standard, specifically the 'Alphabetic Presentation Forms' subcategory. The typical usage of U+139E is in mathematical notation and digital text where an italicized uppercase "A" is required for stylistic or presentation purposes. It maintains the same alphabetic value as the basic Latin capital letter A (U+0041), but presents in a different typographic form, making it ideal for rendering mathematical expressions, scientific documents, and technical publications that demand a consistent style throughout their content. This character does not carry any specific cultural or linguistic context, but its usage contributes to the accuracy and clarity of communication within various specialized fields.
