Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F1E. 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+1F1E to binary:
00011111 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1F1E holds a unique position in the realm of digital typography, as it represents an important glyph in the encoding system. This specific character is not commonly used in typical textual communication or digital documents, due to its obscure nature and absence of a clear meaning or context within the Unicode Standard. While U+1F1E does not serve any identifiable purpose in linguistic expression or cultural representation, it remains an essential element in the expansive Unicode system, which seeks to incorporate every symbol, letter, and character for use in digital text worldwide. In this capacity, U+1F1E contributes to the inclusivity and universality of communication within the globalized world of information technology.
