Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A5F. 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+0A5F to binary:
00001010 01011111
. 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 10101001 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+0A5F, known as the CHARACTER 0A5F, is an important symbol in the realm of digital text. It predominantly serves a specific role in the encoding and representation of characters in various languages and scripts that utilize the Unicode Standard. This standard, developed by the Unicode Consortium, aims to provide a unique code for every character across different languages, enabling efficient and accurate communication across various platforms and devices. Although CHARACTER 0A5F does not have a direct association with any specific cultural or linguistic context, its significance lies in its role within the Unicode system. The character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms block, which includes characters that modify the appearance of other characters without altering their semantic meaning. In this context, CHARACTER 0A5F is a critical component in enabling text to be displayed according to specific formatting requirements or visual preferences, contributing to the overall readability and comprehension of digital texts in various languages.
