Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E5E. 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+0E5E to binary:
00001110 01011110. 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:
11100000 10111001 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E5E represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S". It is typically used in digital text as a part of the ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1) character encoding, also known as the ISO Latin-1 or ISO-8859-1 standard. This character plays a significant role in typography and linguistic representation, particularly in languages that use the Latin script. The sharp s is often used in certain regional dialects of Spanish, such as in Spain and some parts of Latin America, to differentiate between the sounds "s" and "ß". It is worth noting that the U+0E5E character is not commonly found in all digital text platforms, due to variations in encoding standards across different devices and software applications.
