Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ↄ has the Unicode code point U+2183. 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+2183 to binary:
00100001 10000011
. 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:
11100010 10000110 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2183, known as ROMAN NUMERAL REVERSED ONE HUNDRED, plays a crucial role in digital typography and text encoding systems. It is an essential character for those working with Roman numerals, enabling precise representation of numerical values in historical or cultural contexts where Roman numeral notation is prevalent. U+2183 allows for accurate representation of the value "C" (one hundred), which can be inverted to emphasize reversal or for artistic purposes. In digital text, it is often used alongside other Roman numerals to communicate dates, values, and historical events from ancient civilizations. The use of U+2183 demonstrates an understanding of both typographic conventions and the linguistic nuances of Roman numerals, contributing to a richer, more accurate representation of historical information in digital formats.
