Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A9F. 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+1A9F to binary:
00011010 10011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+1A9F is a unique symbol that has a specific role in digital text. This character does not correspond to a specific letter, number, punctuation mark, or symbol commonly used in the English language or other widely spoken languages. Instead, it belongs to the "Private Use Area" of the Unicode standard, which means it is reserved for private use by organizations, companies, or individuals for custom purposes that are not part of the standardized characters defined by Unicode. As such, its typical usage would depend on the specific requirements and agreements within a particular context or system. In certain cases, this character might be used in specialized applications, software programming, or data encoding schemes to represent unique elements or functions. While U+1A9F does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical significance in general terms, its usage could potentially hold significance within a specific domain or application where it is employed for private purposes. Overall, the Unicode character U+1A9F is an example of how the vast and flexible nature of the Unicode system can cater to a wide range of unique requirements beyond standardized language and text representation.
