Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+009A. 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+009A to binary:
10011010. 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 10011010

Description
The character U+009A, also known as the LINE SEPARATOR (LS), holds a crucial role within digital text processing systems. With its codepoint 009A in hexadecimal format and the code 154 in decimal, this specific character serves as a delimiter between lines of written content across various platforms. It is widely used to separate distinct sections or paragraphs in documents, making it a valuable formatting tool for digital text files that incorporate multiple languages and scripts. Notably, U+009A belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (678), which encompasses characters ranging from 128 to 255. This diverse range of characters includes essential symbols like pilcrows (◊) and en dashes (–), enhancing readability and overall appearance in written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block was designed as an extension to the basic Latin character set to accommodate these additional symbols, thus improving the clarity and aesthetics of text documents across various applications. In terms of technical context, U+009A is classified as a Cc (CONTROL) character in Unicode's General Category. Its canonical combining class is 0, indicating that it does not combine with other characters when written adjacent to them. The LS character has no decomposition mapping and carries no decimal digit value, numeric value, or mirrored equivalent.
