Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅾ has the Unicode code point U+217E. 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+217E to binary:
00100001 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+217E, known as the "SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL FIVE HUNDRED", is a typographical representation of the Roman numeral for five hundred. In digital text, this symbol can be used to denote quantities or values in contexts where Roman numerals are preferred or appropriate, such as in historical documents, architecture, or when referencing specific time periods. It may also appear in technical contexts, such as within Unicode tables or programming code dealing with character encoding. Although not commonly used in everyday language, the SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL FIVE HUNDRED serves a crucial role in preserving historical and cultural knowledge by providing a visual representation of an important numeric system that was widely employed throughout the Roman Empire.
