Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EBF. 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+0EBF to binary:
00001110 10111111
. 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 10111010 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+0EBF is a rare and niche character that primarily finds its usage within the realm of specialized encoding systems or proprietary software applications. It is not widely recognized in general digital text due to its limited scope and functionality. However, it serves a significant role in certain linguistic or cultural contexts by representing specific phonetic sounds, symbols, or markers, which are essential for accurate representation of languages with complex scripts or unique characters. Although its usage remains relatively niche and technical, the character U+0EBF plays an important role within the broader spectrum of Unicode's mission to standardize and support a diverse range of global languages and symbols.
