Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+175A. 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+175A to binary:
00010111 01011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+175A (CHARACTER 175A) is a unique symbol with a specific role in digital typography. It holds the code point U+175A in the Unicode Standard, which is an encoding system that represents characters from virtually every written language. This particular character does not have a standard representation or typical usage within the context of common text. However, it could potentially be used for specialized purposes within niche domains, such as encoding for a specific language script, mathematical notation, technical symbols, or as part of an emoji set. Although U+175A may not hold significant cultural, linguistic, or technical relevance in the majority of digital texts, it serves as a testament to the comprehensive scope and inclusivity of the Unicode Standard, which aims to accommodate characters from all known written languages and symbols from various fields.
