Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B7F. 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+0B7F to binary:
00001011 01111111
. 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:
11100000 10101101 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+0B7F is a rare and unique character with limited usage in digital text. In the Unicode Standard, it represents "MATHEMATICAL CR (CARRIAGE RETURN)". As its name suggests, this character serves as a carriage return for mathematical expressions when they are displayed or typeset using a specific font that supports it. Although its utility is quite specialized, U+0B7F plays an essential role in maintaining the accuracy and consistency of mathematical equations within digital text. Its primary use lies within complex mathematical notation systems, particularly in academic and technical fields such as mathematics, physics, and engineering.
