Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1FB5. 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+1FB5 to binary:
00011111 10110101. 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:
11100001 10111110 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1FB5 is a rarely used symbol called "Modifier Letter Small k" (CHARACTER 1FB5). It is primarily employed in digital text to modify the behavior of letters, particularly in certain alphabets like the Latin script. This character serves as a diacritical mark that can change the pronunciation or meaning of the preceding letter when used in linguistic contexts. However, its usage is limited due to its specialized role and lack of widespread application. Despite its rarity, the Modifier Letter Small k holds significance in particular cultural and linguistic contexts where it is necessary for accurate representation and communication.
