Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1C3A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+1C3A to binary:
00011100 00111010
. 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:
11100001 10110000 10111010

Description
U+1C3A is a typographical character from the Unicode standard, representing an individual glyph. In digital text, it serves as a unique identifier for this specific character, enabling consistent rendering and processing across different platforms and applications. The cultural, linguistic, or technical context of U+1C3A remains limited, as it does not correspond to any widely recognized symbol, letter, or pictograph. However, its role in Unicode emphasizes the importance of standardization for accurate representation and interpretation of textual data across diverse languages and scripts. The character's presence in digital communication systems underscores the significance of maintaining a comprehensive and inclusive system of encoding and encoding standards to facilitate efficient and error-free communication worldwide.
