Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0083. 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+0083 to binary:
10000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+0083 (Character 0083), also known as the "Delete" character within ASCII, is a non-printable control character within the Unicode standard. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent a deletion operation, instructing equipment or software to remove the previous character during transmission or processing of text data. This is particularly important in digital telecommunication and data communication contexts where precise control over text processing is necessary for accurate data transfer and error-free communication. While it may not have any visible representation in standard font sets, the role of U+0083 is critical in ensuring proper data transmission and maintaining error-free communication across technical applications. It does not hold any cultural or linguistic significance due to its functional nature within digital systems. Instead, its primary usage lies within technical contexts where precise control over text processing is essential for accurate data transfer and handling. U+0083 belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (range: 128-255). This versatile collection of characters serves a variety of text formatting and typography purposes, including symbols like pilcrows (◊) and en dashes (–), which are essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block was designed to extend the basic Latin character set in order to accommodate these additional symbols, thus enhancing readability and overall appearance of text documents across a wide range of applications.
