Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1771. 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+1771 to binary:
00010111 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1771 is an intriguing symbol with specific roles in digital text, particularly within niche linguistic and cultural contexts. In its typical usage, U+1771 serves as a modifier or diacritical mark for certain languages that use the Latin script, such as Malayalam and Gurmukhi. This character is not widely used across global communication due to its specialized function within these specific language systems. The cultural and linguistic significance of U+1771 can be traced back to regional scripts that evolved independently from the mainstream Latin alphabet. In terms of technical context, U+1771 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used in written languages worldwide. This comprehensive system ensures accurate representation and encoding of text across various digital platforms, thereby preserving the integrity of the original language's typography and meaning. In summary, the Unicode character U+1771 plays a specialized yet crucial role in enabling proper representation of specific languages that employ its unique properties within their written forms.
