Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05FE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare 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+05FE to binary:
00000101 11111110. 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:
11010111 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+05FE, also known as the "COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP," is primarily used for digital text to represent a specific key positioning on a keyboard layout. This character is typically employed in the design of keyboard schematics and software applications that simulate physical keyboards, ensuring accurate representation of key locations. The U+05FE character serves as an important tool for developers who need to create user-friendly interfaces with virtual or physical keyboards. It holds no direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance on its own but contributes significantly to the usability and efficiency of various input methods.
