Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0095. 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+0095 to binary:
10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0095, also known as the LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (LRM), is a crucial non-printing control character in digital text typography. Its primary role lies in ensuring proper directionality for documents containing multiple scripts or languages, especially those written from right to left such as Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian. By placing an LRM before a right-to-left script, followed by a RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (RLM), digital typographers can maintain correct text flow in mixed language documents. This is essential for accurate representation of text in multilingual environments. The LRM belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, a versatile collection of characters ranging from 128 to 255 that cater to various text formatting and typography needs. The characters within this block, including symbols like pilcrows (◊) and en dashes (–), are essential for proper text presentation in digital documents. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, understanding the LRM is vital for anyone working with multilingual texts, particularly those that mix scripts or contain right-to-left languages. Its role in ensuring accurate display and interaction between different scripts contributes significantly to accessibility and comprehension in digital environments.
