Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1775. 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+1775 to binary:
00010111 01110101. 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 10110101

Description
Unicode character U+1775, also known as CHARACTER 1775, is a rarely used typographical symbol that holds significant importance in certain digital text applications. This character is primarily employed for its specific role within the field of music notation, where it represents a double-flat sign (♭♭) in the context of key signatures. The double-flat sign denotes a decrease of two half steps, which significantly affects pitch in musical compositions. Although CHARACTER 1775 is not frequently utilized, it remains an essential tool for musicians and composers who work with classical or traditional music styles that rely on the traditional notation system.
