Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+175F. 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+175F to binary:
00010111 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+175F (CHARACTER 175F) holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text representation. This specific code point is not assigned to any particular character, symbol, or glyph within the standardized Unicode character set. Consequently, it does not have a typical usage or role in digital text as it is not currently mapped to a recognizable entity. Nevertheless, this fact highlights the expansive nature of the Unicode standard, which comprises over 130,000 characters across various scripts, symbols, and emojis from around the world. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, U+175F remains unassigned, awaiting future potential allocation or usage within the Unicode system. As digital communication and representation continue to expand, it is possible that this code point may be assigned to a new character or entity in the future, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the Unicode standard.
