Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17FB. 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+17FB to binary:
00010111 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+17FB is a Unicode character that holds significant importance for the Lojban language, which is a constructed language created in the mid-20th century. In Lojban, this character represents the "selj" consonant sound. The usage of this character in digital text plays a vital role in accurately transcribing and conveying the Lojban language's phonetics and grammar. U+17FB has been widely adopted by linguists, language enthusiasts, and computer scientists interested in the study or creation of constructed languages. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that Lojban can be consistently represented across various digital platforms, enabling smoother communication and collaboration among speakers and learners of this unique language.
