Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A9C. 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+1A9C to binary:
00011010 10011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1A9C (CHARACTER 1A9C) holds a specific role within the realm of digital typography. While it is not part of any widely used standardized writing system, this code point exists to represent an abstract or hypothetical character in Unicode, which is the universal character encoding standard for digital text. Its primary significance lies in its function as a placeholder for future character assignments, or potentially for obscure characters that are specific to niche scripts or typographical needs. The character does not have any direct cultural or linguistic context but serves as an important tool in the technical realm of character encoding and text representation. In essence, U+1A9C (CHARACTER 1A9C) is a meticulously engineered element within the vast spectrum of Unicode, contributing to the comprehensive framework that enables seamless communication and exchange of digital text across various platforms and devices worldwide.
