Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0098. 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+0098 to binary:
10011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+0098, also known as the character "CHARACTER 0098," is a Unicode character with no assigned meaning or usage in digital text. It remains unassigned and serves as a placeholder within the Unicode Standard. This character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block (U+A0 - U+FF), which includes various characters used for text formatting and typography purposes. As of now, there are no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts associated with U+0098 (CHARACTER 0098). The character does not play any role in modern computing systems, programming languages, or text encoding, as it remains unassigned and unused in digital communication. Despite this, the Latin-1 Supplement block is essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content, containing symbols like pilcrows (◊), en dashes (–), and others. These 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.
