Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A5F. 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+1A5F to binary:
00011010 01011111
. 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 10101001 10011111

Description
U+1A5F is a less common character in the Unicode Standard, specifically assigned to represent 'CHARACTER 1A5F.' While it doesn't have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it could potentially play a role in digital text as a unique identifier, code or symbol in various applications. The usage of this character might be limited due to its rarity, but it serves as an important part of the vast spectrum of characters available for use in different programming languages and systems. Its significance lies more in its existence within the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, letter, symbol, or emoji across all languages and platforms.
