Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CF4. 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+0CF4 to binary:
00001100 11110100
. 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 10110011 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CF4, also known as CHARACTER 0CF4, holds a unique position in the realm of typography and digital text. This character is primarily utilized to represent a specific symbol or glyph within the confines of a digital document, software application, or website. However, it's essential to note that U+0CF4 has not been explicitly defined as part of any standardized encoding system, such as those used for most written languages. Therefore, its usage remains limited and may be context-specific. Despite this, CHARACTER 0CF4 serves as a testament to the vast diversity and expansive possibilities that Unicode offers in enabling a wide range of symbols, characters, and glyphs to coexist within digital text.
