Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19CF. 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+19CF to binary:
00011001 11001111
. 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 10100111 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+19CF is a unique symbol in the typographical world, representing a specific concept within digital text. This character has its roots deeply entrenched in various cultural and linguistic contexts, where it plays an essential role. While U+19CF does not have any widely recognized or typical usage within modern digital communication, it is still a vital symbol for the preservation of certain languages and scripts that are less commonly used. In terms of technicality, this character is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, and glyph in use across different languages and cultures. By ensuring accurate representation and encoding, U+19CF contributes to the continued survival and understanding of these lesser-known scripts and dialects, making it an essential character within the vast landscape of digital text.
