Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ADF. 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+0ADF to binary:
00001010 11011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+0ADF (Character 0ADF) holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text. As a non-standardized code point, it does not adhere to any specific language or script, making its role in digital text relatively obscure. Despite this, it represents an important aspect of Unicode's versatility, as a placeholder for future character assignments. This adaptable nature allows U+0ADF to serve as a crucial bridge between different scripts and languages in the ever-evolving landscape of global communication. By embodying a sense of possibility and expansion within the Unicode Standard, Character 0ADF reflects the ongoing development of digital text and typography as a whole.
