Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EF7. 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+0EF7 to binary:
00001110 11110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+0EF7 is a Unicode character with the code point 0xEF7. In digital text, it typically represents the character "ƒ" (lowercase Latin letter f with a grave accent). This character is not widely used in modern typography due to its similarity to the lowercase 'f' and the fact that it is not part of the ISO basic Latin alphabet. However, it may be found in older texts or specific applications where the character has historical or cultural significance. In some programming languages, U+0EF7 could also represent a special control character or have a specific function within the language's encoding system. Overall, U+0EF7 is a seldom-used Unicode character with limited roles in digital text and typography.
