Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ADD. 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+0ADD to binary:
00001010 11011101
. 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 10011101

Description
U+0ADD is a Unicode character with the code point 0ADD, corresponding to the numeral symbol "‾", also known as the "inverted double vertical line" or "inverted V". It is primarily used in digital text for representing an overline or a visual guide for writing. In typography and linguistics, it often appears in phonetic transcription systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to indicate certain phonetic characteristics of speech sounds. The character is also utilized in mathematical notation to denote a bar or overline applied to an element, such as a variable or operator, for specific purposes like indicating the set complement, equality modulo n, or the complex conjugate. U+0ADD is rarely used outside these contexts, but when employed, it serves a crucial role in accurately conveying meaning and maintaining consistency across various languages and disciplines.
