Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0085. 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+0085 to binary:
10000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character with the codepoint 0085 (U+0085) is commonly known as CHARACTER 0085 or the <control> character. It plays a vital role in digital text, primarily serving as a line separation character for controlling vertical spacing within certain applications and text editors. In HTML context, it corresponds to the "line break without line feed" tag (<br>), ensuring consistent formatting across various devices. Though not frequently found in everyday text, this character holds importance in technical contexts such as programming languages, software development, and certain markup languages where precise control of spacing is crucial for optimal functionality and readability. The Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, which contains characters ranging from 128 to 255, includes this character among others serving various text formatting and typography purposes.
