Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FE1. 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+0FE1 to binary:
00001111 11100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+0FE1, also known as the Combining Character Code Point 0FE1, is a rarely used character within the digital text realm. Its primary function is to serve as a placeholder for a specific combining character in certain Unicode encoding schemes. Due to its limited application, it does not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role in these specific encoding scenarios. The character 0FE1 may be utilized in rare cases where a specific combination of characters is needed but not provided directly by the Unicode standard, making its usage highly situational and context-dependent. However, given its limited use, it is unlikely to be encountered frequently in everyday digital text applications.
