Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁿ has the Unicode code point U+207F. 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+207F to binary:
00100000 01111111. 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 10000001 10111111

Description
U+207F, also known as the SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER N, is a typographical character in the Unicode standard that represents a lowercase 'n' with a superscript variant. In digital text, this character is typically used to denote variables or mathematical expressions where an exponent is involved, or in cases where the writer wants to convey specific formatting requirements for stylistic or cultural reasons. Although it may appear infrequently compared to other characters in common use, its precise functionality and unique representation contribute to the richness of digital text across various disciplines, such as mathematics, computer programming, linguistics, and typography.
