Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+07B9. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+07B9 to binary:
00000111 10111001. 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:
11011110 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+07B9 (CHARACTER 07B9) is a unique symbol primarily used in the Klingon language, as per its role in digital text. Developed for the fictional alien species from the Star Trek universe, this character holds cultural significance for fans and enthusiasts of the franchise. The use of U+07B9 showcases the creativity of Unicode, which aims to represent characters from virtually every written language and symbol set globally. While its application in daily communication is limited due to its association with a fictional language, it serves as an interesting example of how the Unicode system supports diverse forms of expression beyond standard languages.
