Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1FFF. 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+1FFF to binary:
00011111 11111111. 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 10111111 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+1FFF (character 1FFF) holds a unique position within the realm of typography and digital text. This code point, situated in the private use area of the Unicode Standard, is primarily employed for non-standard characters or reserved for specific purposes by organizations, companies, or individuals. Its typical usage often involves incorporating proprietary symbols or characters that are not part of the standard Unicode set. In some cases, it can also serve as a placeholder in digital texts to prevent the misinterpretation of data by software applications. Although U+1FFF does not have any direct linguistic or cultural significance, its usage reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of language, typography, and communication in the digital age.
