Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17EE. 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+17EE to binary:
00010111 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+17EE represents the "Combining Enclosing Circle" in digital text. This character is used in combination with other characters to visually enclose them within a circle. Its primary usage is in typography, particularly for decorative purposes or in situations where visual grouping of elements is necessary. The Combining Enclosing Circle does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context on its own but can be seen in various scripts and languages to enhance the presentation of text. It's important to note that the character should be used with caution, as it may impact readability if overused or misapplied.
