Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1FD4. 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+1FD4 to binary:
00011111 11010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+1FD4 is a rare glyph with no specific standardized name or common usage. It exists within the private use area of the Unicode block, which means it can be used for any purpose depending on agreements between parties. Its typical role in digital text is as a placeholder or identifier within custom private use schemes, such as in proprietary applications or software where specialized symbols are required to fulfill specific functions. The character does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but it can be utilized creatively by those who understand Unicode and its functionality. It's important to note that this character is not part of the standardized public characters available in Unicode, so it may require specialized software or understanding of encoding to use properly.
