Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅶ has the Unicode code point U+2176. 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+2176 to binary:
00100001 01110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+2176 is the Unicode code point for the Small Roman Numeral Seven character. This character is typically used in digital text to represent the numeral 'VII', which is the Roman equivalent of the decimal number 7. It serves a crucial role in typography, particularly when conveying historical or cultural references to the Roman numeral system. In certain contexts, such as in genealogy or historical documents, this character can help maintain accuracy and clarity in text. While its usage has diminished with the prevalence of the decimal system in modern society, it remains an important symbol for those studying or working within areas that require knowledge of ancient numeral systems.
