Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+177E. 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+177E to binary:
00010111 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+177E (CHARACTER 177E) holds significant importance within the realm of digital typography and text encoding. This character is a part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the accurate representation of text in various languages and scripts worldwide. CHARACTER 177E does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context as it stands outside the range of characters typically used for human language expression. However, its primary role lies within the confines of digital text, where it may be employed to serve unique functions in specialized fields, such as marking positions in data streams, control characters, or other technical applications. Due to the wide scope of Unicode, CHARACTER 177E is yet another testament to the power and adaptability of this global standard for text encoding and representation.
