Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F7E. 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+1F7E to binary:
00011111 01111110. 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 10111101 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1F7E is a specialized symbol primarily used in digital text for encoding purposes, particularly within the realm of information technology and computer programming. It is part of the Latin Extended-B range of characters, which encompasses various alphabetic and symbolic representations not readily available in standard ASCII encoding. Despite its obscurity, this particular character plays a crucial role in enabling the accurate representation and interpretation of data within specific applications and platforms. As such, it is essential for developers and technologists to be aware of its existence and utility when working with Unicode-encoded text.
