Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1FC5. 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+1FC5 to binary:
00011111 11000101
. 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 10000101

Description
U+1FC5 is a typographical character within the Unicode standard, represented visually as a double prime (′) or acute accent (´). In digital text, it serves to modify and alter the pronunciation or tone of preceding letters in various languages. It is commonly employed in Latin-script languages like Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian to indicate an accent on vowels, adding a specific phonetic characteristic to words. Additionally, in computer programming and markup languages, U+1FC5 can be utilized to denote emphasis or special formatting in text. Although this character is widely used, it may not have significant cultural or linguistic implications beyond its functional role within the Unicode system.
