Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0084. 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+0084 to binary:
10000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+0084, also known as the Non-Breaking Space (NBS) character, is a crucial element in digital text formatting within the Unicode Standard. It serves to ensure that adjacent characters, such as those from different scripts or languages, do not get separated unintentionally during formatting. This is particularly important for professional typesetting and document preparation, where maintaining consistent spacing between words and preserving the integrity of complex text structures is essential. The Non-Breaking Space character (NBS) is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block (U+00A0 to U+00FF), which contains 256 characters (128 to 255) that offer various text formatting and typography functions. These characters are essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content, enhancing readability and overall appearance in diverse applications, ranging from professional documents to creative writing. In programming languages, the NBS character is used for line wrapping and indentation purposes, ensuring proper syntax and code readability. Its role extends beyond digital text, playing a part in preserving cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts by maintaining the structure and integrity of multi-script or complex texts.
