Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BAD. 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+0BAD to binary:
00001011 10101101. 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 10101110 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0BAD, also known as CHARACTER 0BAD, holds a unique position in the digital text realm. This particular character does not correspond to any specific glyph, symbol or letter from a language or script. Instead, it is utilized primarily for internal purposes within software applications and programming systems. In some instances, CHARACTER 0BAD may serve as a placeholder or as a part of an encoding mechanism that detects errors in text or data streams. While it may not hold cultural or linguistic significance, its role within the technical framework of digital communication systems is crucial for maintaining accuracy and efficient data transmission. The CHARACTER 0BAD symbol underlines the importance of Unicode in facilitating seamless global communication by assigning unique codes to a wide range of characters from different languages and scripts.
