Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0080. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0080 to binary:
10000000. 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:
11000010 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0080 (CHARACTER 0080), also known as the Non-Breaking Space, is a Control Character primarily utilized in digital communication systems for data control purposes. It holds the code point 0080, code 128, and is represented by the character . In terms of typography, it falls under the General Category Cc (Control) and BidiClass BN (Other Neutral). This character is not typically visible on screens due to its non-printable nature. In programming and data communication, this character serves as a delimiter or separator for different types of data. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of data transmission by preventing line breaks and ensuring proper text formatting across various devices and platforms. This helps maintain the intended format and prevents potential misinterpretation of data by software applications. While it doesn't have any cultural or linguistic significance, its technical importance lies in preserving the coherence of digital text. It belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+128 - U+255), which is a versatile collection of characters designed to extend the basic Latin character set to accommodate additional symbols essential for proper text formatting and presentation. These characters can be utilized in various applications, ranging from professional documents to creative writing, ensuring clear communication and enhancing visual appeal for readers.
