Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+07FC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+07FC to binary:
00000111 11111100
. 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:
11011111 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+07FC is a unique symbol with significant roles in digital text representation. It serves as an important typographical element, representing the "Combining Character Code Point 21" in the Latin Extended-B block of characters. This specific code point is used to represent combining characters that adjust the presentation and properties of adjacent base characters without changing their inherent meaning or identity. In essence, it enables the modification of text characteristics such as accent marks, diacritics, and other typographical elements when combined with a base character in digital texts. Despite its limited usage compared to more widely recognized Unicode characters, U+07FC holds a vital position in the field of typography and digital communication, helping to create diverse, expressive, and culturally nuanced written content across various languages.
