Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A7D. 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+1A7D to binary:
00011010 01111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1A7D (CHARACTER 1A7D) is a special character used primarily for encoding specific data in digital text systems. It does not represent any particular symbol, letter, or number. Instead, its primary role lies in the realm of technical applications and communication protocols. One of its most common uses is within the context of the International Alphabet for Readwrite (IARW) system, where it serves as a non-spacing mark to control text flow direction and layout. This character allows for greater flexibility in digital text processing and provides developers with an essential tool for controlling the presentation of text in various applications. Although U+1A7D may not have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, it plays a crucial role in modern typography and digital communication by enabling precise control over text handling and ensuring compatibility across different devices and software platforms.
