Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅺ has the Unicode code point U+217A. 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+217A to binary:
00100001 01111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+217A, known as the Small Roman Numeral Eleven, is a symbol used to represent the number eleven in digital text. Its primary function is to provide an alternative representation of the digit for typographical or stylistic purposes, often found in historical documents, classic literature, or other contexts where adherence to traditional roman numeral usage is preferred. Although less common than their uppercase counterparts, these lowercase roman numerals can add a distinctive and aesthetic touch to certain types of writing. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard (since version 3.0) allows for consistent and accurate representation across different platforms, programming languages, and applications, ensuring its widespread availability and accessibility for users worldwide.
