Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0092. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0092 to binary:
10010010
. 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 10010010
<control>·U+0092

Description
The Unicode character U+0092, also known as the Form Feed (FF) character, is a non-printing control character primarily used for signaling the end of a line in digital text. Its hexadecimal value is EF. The FF character plays an essential role in maintaining proper document formatting and layout when printing by ensuring a smooth transition between different sections of printed materials. Although it does not have any cultural or linguistic significance, the Form Feed character holds importance in technical contexts for maintaining the correct presentation of digital text across various output devices. It belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, which is a collection of 256 characters (128 to 255) serving various text formatting and typography purposes. The Latin-1 Supplement block extends the basic Latin character set to accommodate additional symbols essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. This range of characters can be utilized across a wide range of applications, from professional documents to creative writing, ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers.
