Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A7E. 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+0A7E to binary:
00001010 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
U+0A7E (CHARACTER 0A7E) is a Unicode character primarily used in typography and digital text representation. It belongs to the "Other Symbol" category of the Unicode Standard, which comprises characters that do not fit into other predefined categories. Although its typical usage is limited, U+0A7E holds importance due to its unique identification as a specific character in the extensive Unicode system. As part of the "Other Symbol" group, it may be used for various purposes depending on the context and encoding standards applied in digital documents or systems. However, there is no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with this specific character, as it does not correspond to a particular language or symbol from a recognized script.
