Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1F4F. 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+1F4F to binary:
00011111 01001111. 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 10111101 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+1F4F is a rarely used symbol, typically employed in digital text for specific purposes within niche fields. It is primarily utilized in the telecommunications industry to represent the concept of "flow control" or "handshaking," which refers to a communication method between devices that helps regulate data transmission. This character does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance outside of these specific contexts and is therefore not commonly found in everyday digital text. Its primary usage within its niche field serves as a vital tool for ensuring efficient and effective communication between devices in the telecommunications industry.
