Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+16F9. 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+16F9 to binary:
00010110 11111001. 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 10011011 10111001

Description
U+16F9, or Character 16F9, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically positioned at code point U+16F9. It plays a significant role in digital text, primarily serving as a control character for various applications and software programs. While it doesn't hold any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context on its own, it is often used behind-the-scenes to facilitate the seamless functioning of diverse texts and systems. As an expert in Unicode and typography, I emphasize that the true value of U+16F9 lies not in its direct representation but rather in its role as a vital cog within larger digital text frameworks.
