Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1879. 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+1879 to binary:
00011000 01111001
. 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 10100001 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+1879 is a unique symbol primarily used in digital text for its specific role within certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. It's noteworthy that the use of this character is quite rare, as it falls outside of the standard Latin script commonly employed in modern languages. The character U+1879 is often found in specialized systems such as computer programming or coding, where it might serve a specific function or purpose within those contexts. While its typical usage is not widespread, it remains an important element for those who work with less common scripts or encoding systems. Its significance lies in its role within these niche fields and the cultural, linguistic, or technical knowledge required to understand and utilize it effectively.
