Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EF1. 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+0EF1 to binary:
00001110 11110001
. 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 10111011 10110001

Description
U+0EF1 is a Unicode character with the code point value 0x0EF1, which represents the Greek letter 'Phi' (Φ). In digital text, this character is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, science, and technology where Greek letters are needed for symbols or notations. U+0EF1 is significant in these contexts due to its mathematical properties and usage, particularly in representing the golden ratio, an important concept in fields like architecture, art, and design. The character is also commonly found in linguistic studies of ancient Greek literature and texts where it serves as a standard letter. It should be noted that U+0EF1 might not display correctly on all devices or software due to differences in encoding systems or font support, which could potentially affect its accurate representation in digital text.
