Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0087. 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+0087 to binary:
10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+0087 (Control Character 0087) serves a specific purpose in digital text as a non-printing control character, primarily used for controlling line breaks, particularly when working with text set using IBM-compatible mainframe systems. It is known by the name "Next Line", and although it does not have any cultural or linguistic significance, its historical importance lies in computerized typography and text processing. In modern Unicode standards, this character's usage has largely been superseded by other control characters; however, it remains relevant within the context of digital text handling, especially when dealing with legacy systems. This character falls under the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), a versatile collection of 256 characters designed to extend the basic Latin character set and accommodate additional symbols essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content.
