Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0AB4. 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+0AB4 to binary:
00001010 10110100
. 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:
11100000 10101010 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0AB4 is a unique code point that holds specific importance within the realm of typography and digital text. It represents a particular symbol in the Extended Latin-1 Supplement block, which consists of characters that extend the basic Latin alphabet to include accented letters, diacritics, and other special symbols. The U+0AB4 character is often used for specific regional language needs or within niche applications where its distinct form is essential for accurate text representation. Despite not having a widely recognized meaning in popular languages such as English or Spanish, it may play a critical role in less common linguistic contexts, contributing to the accurate representation and transmission of information in those specialized areas. As with all Unicode characters, U+0AB4 serves a vital purpose in enabling global communication by standardizing text encoding across different languages, systems, and platforms.
