Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17EF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 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+17EF to binary:
00010111 11101111. 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:
11100001 10011111 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+17EF, designated as CHARACTER 17EF, is a typographic symbol that holds significant importance in digital text. This character represents the "Combining Diacritical Mark for Vertical Stroke" and serves to indicate a vertical line or stroke placed above another character. Its primary usage is in the rendering of characters from certain Asian scripts, such as Hangul (Korean) and CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) languages, where it helps to form complex syllable structures or modifies existing characters to alter their pronunciation or meaning. While not a standalone character, CHARACTER 17EF plays an essential role in enabling the accurate representation of various scripts and linguistic nuances in digital text, making it an indispensable element for multilingual typography and communication.
