Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⅵ has the Unicode code point U+2165. 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+2165 to binary:
00100001 01100101
. 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 10000101 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2165 represents the Roman numeral "VI" in digital text, with a typical usage for denoting the number six in historical contexts or within typographic designs that incorporate ancient Roman numerals. This character is essential in preserving cultural heritage and enhancing typography, as it allows for accurate representation of classical texts and historical artifacts. U+2165 is part of the Latin Extended-A (Latinext) block, which contains additional characters necessary for the proper representation of the Latin script, including diacritics, ligatures, and various special characters. In digital typography, it provides designers with a versatile tool to incorporate elements of ancient scripts in contemporary designs while maintaining fidelity to the original text.
