Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F16. 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+1F16 to binary:
00011111 00010110
. 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 10111100 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1F16 is a rarely used glyph that may not have any specific usage within the realm of digital text. It does not appear to be associated with any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical context, nor is it commonly used in the standard typography found in digital content. Its rarity and lack of application might suggest that this character's role within Unicode remains obscure and potentially non-existent.
