Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅹ has the Unicode code point U+2179. 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+2179 to binary:
00100001 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2179, known as the "SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL TEN", is a type of typographical representation used in digital text. It is particularly useful in historical or cultural contexts where Roman numerals are employed to represent numbers. For instance, it can be used to denote the number ten within text that employs Roman numeral conventions. Although not commonly used in everyday digital communication, it plays an important role in fields like history, archaeology, and architecture where Roman numerals have a significant presence. It helps maintain accuracy and consistency in texts involving these systems of numeration.
