Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DF8. 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+0DF8 to binary:
00001101 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+0DF8 represents the character "ℸ". In digital text, this character is often used to denote the unit of volume known as the hectolitre (hl), which is equal to 100 litres. This character finds its primary application in contexts related to scientific and technical fields, such as chemistry, biology, and engineering, where precise measurements are essential. The use of "ℸ" helps differentiate this unit from other related volume units like the litre (l) or cubic centimetre (cc), contributing to clearer and more accurate communication in these disciplines. It is crucial to note that Unicode characters such as U+0DF8 provide a standardized method of representing specific information across various digital platforms, thereby enhancing global text comprehension and exchange.
