Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F7F. 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+1F7F to binary:
00011111 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+1F7F, also known as the "Character 1F7F", is a unique Unicode character that holds great significance in the realm of typography and digital text. This character does not have a specific glyph or visual representation associated with it. Instead, its primary role lies within the Unicode Standard itself, serving as a placeholder for private use characters. In essence, U+1F7F acts as a reserved space for organizations and individuals to define custom characters that suit their specific needs, without interfering with the universally recognized characters in the Unicode Standard. This flexibility allows companies and developers to create their own typographic elements, emojis, or other digital text components for various applications, including websites, mobile apps, and software programs. Thus, U+1F7F plays a pivotal role in promoting innovation and creativity in digital communication while maintaining the stability of the Unicode Standard.
