Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+177B. 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+177B to binary:
00010111 01111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+177B (CHARACTER 177B) holds a unique place in the vast landscape of typography. As an intriguing combination of the Latin Extended-C block, this character typically serves in digital text as a symbol or mark that may carry specific meaning within a particular context, although it does not correspond to any widely recognized symbol in common use. In terms of technical context, CHARACTER 177B might be employed for specialized purposes in programming languages or software applications where the need arises for unique, non-standard symbols. However, due to its obscure nature and lack of widespread cultural, linguistic, or typographic associations, CHARACTER 177B remains a relatively uncharted territory within the comprehensive world of Unicode characters.
