Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ´ has the Unicode code point U+1FFD. 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+1FFD to binary:
00011111 11111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1FFD, also known as GREEK OXIA, is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily within the realm of digital text encoding. While it may not be widely recognized or utilized in everyday communication, its importance lies in its function within the realm of Unicode standards. As part of the Unicode system, U+1FFD serves to represent specific characters in various languages and scripts. The Greek alphabet, for example, has a rich history that dates back to antiquity, and Unicode ensures that these distinct characters are accurately encoded and transmitted across different platforms and applications. While its usage may be niche compared to other widely-used characters, U+1FFD plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic diversity and ensuring the proper representation of texts in digital formats.
