Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+085C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 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+085C to binary:
00001000 01011100. 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:
11100000 10100001 10011100

Description
U+085C is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically belonging to the Miscellaneous Technical category. This character is used primarily for technical purposes, serving as a delimiter or separator in text data, often in contexts where precision and clarity are paramount. It does not have any cultural or linguistic significance, and its usage is mostly within specialized fields such as computer programming, data transmission, or file format specifications. Due to its limited scope of application, U+085C may not be as widely recognized or used as other characters in the Unicode Standard. However, its role in facilitating accurate information exchange and data processing is essential in certain technical contexts, demonstrating the utility of having a comprehensive and flexible character encoding system like Unicode.
