Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+191F. 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+191F to binary:
00011001 00011111
. 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 10100100 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+191F, also known as Character 191F, is primarily utilized for its specific function in digital text. It does not have any direct representation in most written languages due to its abstract nature. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it holds no significant presence. The primary usage of this character revolves around encoding and data processing applications, where U+191F serves as a control character, specifically for line feeding without an end line marker. This type of character is frequently used in telecommunication systems and text processing, enabling smooth transition between lines of code or information. Its main role lies within the technical realm and its importance derives from its function to maintain the integrity of data transmission and readability across different platforms, particularly in older technologies.
