Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ACF. 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+0ACF to binary:
00001010 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+0ACF is known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER W WITH STROKE". This typographical element is a variant of the letter 'W' commonly used in certain scripts or languages, most notably in the AFA language from Papua New Guinea. It features a horizontal stroke through its middle part, distinguishing it from the standard 'W'. In digital text, U+0ACF often serves to preserve the original character's distinctive form and to maintain typographic consistency within the AFA script or when citing texts in this language. Although it may not be widely used in everyday typography or digital communications due to its specialised nature, it holds a significant cultural importance for speakers of the AFA language.
