Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17FE. 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+17FE to binary:
00010111 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+17FE is a unique code point with specific roles and applications in the realm of digital text. This character does not represent any particular alphabetic or symbolic entity as it falls within the private use area (code points from 0x1700 to 0x1FFFD). The private use area is reserved for application-specific characters, allowing organizations and individuals to define their own set of unique characters that are not assigned standard meanings in Unicode. As such, the typical usage of U+17FE would be determined by the specific application or software system it is being employed in. It's important to note that the use of private use area code points may result in compatibility issues, as these characters are not widely recognized across different platforms and systems. However, in certain specialized fields like typography or coding systems, U+17FE could play a crucial role depending on its application-specific definition.
