Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A9B. 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+1A9B to binary:
00011010 10011011. 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 10101010 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1A9B holds a unique position in the vast universe of typography. This character is primarily used for representing an abstract concept or symbol, as it does not fall under any specific language's alphabet or character set. In digital text, its usage can be seen mostly in domains like programming, data representation, and certain niche applications where a unique, non-standardized symbol is required. Despite its seemingly arbitrary appearance, U+1A9B has found its purpose in the realm of technical communication, where specificity and unambiguity are highly valued. It is an example of how Unicode, with its vast array of characters, caters to the diverse needs of digital text representation across various cultures, languages, and industries.
