Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F1F. 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+1F1F to binary:
00011111 00011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+1F1F is a non-standard and undefined character in the Unicode Standard, which is a comprehensive set of characters used to represent text across different languages and platforms. As it is not assigned to any specific function or meaning, its typical usage or role in digital text remains unclear. While there might be no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context for this particular character, Unicode's primary goal is to standardize the representation of text to promote interoperability and communication across different systems, making it an essential tool in modern computing and software development.
