Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A9E. 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+1A9E to binary:
00011010 10011110
. 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 10011110

Description
U+1A9E is a character within the Unicode standard used for representing a specific symbol or glyph in digital text. It falls under the category of "Miscellaneous Symbols," which includes various symbols that do not fit into other, more established categories. In terms of typical usage or role, this character is commonly seen in technical documentation and coding contexts, often as part of a set of characters representing a specific function or command in a programming language or software application. While U+1A9E may not have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, it can play an important role in the presentation and functionality of digital text. By serving as a symbol or glyph, it can help facilitate communication, especially in specialized fields such as computer programming and telecommunications. Furthermore, as part of the Unicode standard, U+1A9E contributes to the overall goal of encoding and displaying text consistently across different platforms, languages, and devices, thereby promoting global understanding and interconnectivity.
