Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17DE. 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+17DE to binary:
00010111 11011110. 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 10011111 10011110

Description
U+17DE is a typographical character in the Unicode standard, specifically belonging to the Latin Extended-B subrange. This particular Unicode code point represents the letter "ẞ," an uppercase variant of the letter "G" with a ring above it. The character is predominantly used in digital text and communications for its distinct visual appearance, often serving as a unique identifier or for stylistic purposes. While it does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it demonstrates the versatility of the Unicode system in encoding various special characters to cater to diverse typographic needs across languages and script systems.
