Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+082E. 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+082E to binary:
00001000 00101110
. 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:
11100000 10100000 10101110

Description
U+082E is a special character in the Unicode standard that holds significance in digital typography. This character code corresponds to the Greek letter "Phi" (Φ, φ), which is used prominently in various mathematical equations, particularly in the field of physics where it represents the ratio of a physical quantity to its change in time. In digital text, U+082E is commonly employed in scientific documents and research papers for precision in mathematical expressions. It also plays a role in certain cultural contexts, as the Greeks have had a profound influence on various aspects of knowledge, including science, philosophy, and arts. Therefore, U+082E contributes to the richness of digital text by providing accurate representation of the Greek letter "Phi", facilitating clarity in communication across diverse fields.
