Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+008D. 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+008D to binary:
10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+008D, also known as "Next Line," is a specialized control character (nameSlug: lesscontrolgreater-u-008d) primarily used in digital text to instruct printers or display devices to move down to the next line in a sequence of output. This character belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (category: Latin-1 Supplement), which is a diverse collection of characters serving various formatting and typography purposes. In technical contexts, U+008D can be found in applications requiring multi-line text formatting, such as word processing software and programming languages. Despite its limited usage due to its specialized role, it plays an essential part in ensuring accurate layout and presentation of text across different devices and platforms (decimalDigitValue: null, digitValue: null, numericValue: null). The Next Line character is part of the Basic Multilingual Plane (plane: Basic Multilingual Plane), which includes most common characters used in written communication across various languages. Its specific usage may not be widely known outside specialized circles, but it remains a crucial element for proper text presentation and formatting.
