Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+197B. 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+197B to binary:
00011001 01111011. 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 10100101 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+197B (CHARACTER 197B) is an obscure glyph with limited usage in digital text. As a code point in the Unicode Standard, it represents a specific symbol that may be used to represent a particular concept or element within certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. However, due to its rarity and lack of widespread adoption, CHARACTER 197B is not commonly encountered in modern digital text. Its role, if any, remains largely unnoticed by the majority of users and developers who primarily interact with more frequently used characters and symbols within the vast Unicode character set.
