Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+18AB. 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+18AB to binary:
00011000 10101011. 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 10100010 10101011

Description
U+18AB is a character in the Unicode standard, representing the symbol "ℚ". This symbol is known as the Roman Uppercase Letter Reversed G. It is primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes, such as in calligraphy and historical documents, where it represents an uppercase letter form of the Reversed Greek Gamma (Γ) in the Roman alphabet. The character does not have a specific cultural or linguistic context, but it can be found in various fonts and text systems that support Unicode characters. Due to its unique appearance, U+18AB has become popular among designers and typographers looking for alternative letterforms that deviate from the standard Latin alphabet.
