Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A04. 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+0A04 to binary:
00001010 00000100
. 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 10101000 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0A04 is a significant figure in the realm of typography and digital text representation. Known as the "REVERSED DOWNWARDS HAN SCRIPT LETTER A," this particular glyph holds a distinct role in facilitating accurate and meaningful communication across various languages and cultures, particularly those employing Han Scripts. It is instrumental in depicting the letter 'A' with its bottom-most portion extended upwards, thus reversing its usual orientation. This unique characteristic enables it to fit seamlessly within the context of other Han Script letters, thereby promoting cohesive digital text formatting and legibility. As a result, U+0A04 is an indispensable tool for typographers, programmers, and anyone involved in the creation or management of multilingual digital content.
