Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1756. 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+1756 to binary:
00010111 01010110
. 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 10011101 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1756 (CHARACTER 1756) is a unique typographical symbol with a specific role in digital text. This character does not have a widely recognized usage or a prominent cultural, linguistic, or technical context that stands out, as it falls within the Private Use Area of Unicode characters. The Private Use Area comprises code points from 1756 to 1792 (U+1756 to U+1792) and from 2400 to 2408 (U+2400 to U+2408), which are reserved for private use by organizations, developers, or individuals. Therefore, the usage of this character largely depends on individual assignment or customization, making it a versatile symbol that can be adapted for various purposes in digital text. However, its limited public context and lack of standardized application mean that U+1756 remains an uncommon character in the broader scope of Unicode characters.
