Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DF1. 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+0DF1 to binary:
00001101 11110001
. 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 10110111 10110001

Description
U+0DF1 is a Unicode character that represents the "Black Right-Pointing Pointer" (CHARACTER 0DF1). In digital text, this symbol is commonly used to indicate directions in navigation menus or flowcharts. It plays an essential role in providing clear and intuitive guidance within user interfaces and technical documentation. The Black Right-Pointing Pointer is particularly useful in the development of software applications and user experiences, as it helps users navigate through complex systems with ease. Its distinct design differentiates it from other similar arrow symbols, making it a valuable tool for developers and designers alike.
