Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FDE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0FDE to binary:
00001111 11011110
. 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 10111111 10011110

Description
U+0FDE is a Unicode character representing the "Combining Double Acute Accent" (COMBINING DOUBLE ACUTE). This character is primarily used in digital text to apply a double acute accent mark to a preceding letter or symbol, modifying its pronunciation or function within certain languages or scripts. The Combining Double Acute Accent is often used in typography for various languages such as French and Italian, where it serves an important linguistic purpose by altering the phonetics of specific characters. This character adheres to strict Unicode standards, ensuring its correct rendering across different platforms and devices, promoting consistency and accuracy in digital communication. In a technical context, U+0FDE is part of the Combining Diacritical Marks block, which contains various diacritical marks used to modify characters from the basic multilingual plane of Unicode.
