Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ACA. 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+0ACA to binary:
00001010 11001010. 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 10101011 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+0ACA (character 0ACA) represents the "Combining Shade Character" in the Latin-1 Supplement category. This character is primarily used in digital text to combine with other letters, numbers, or symbols to create a shaded version of the original character. It is not commonly seen on its own and may be used in typography or design applications to create a visually distinctive effect. While there isn't a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context for U+0ACA, it serves as an important component when combining with other characters in digital text formatting. The accurate usage of this character allows designers and typographers to add depth and dimension to their work, enhancing the visual appeal of texts while maintaining proper Unicode standards.
