Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FE8. 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+0FE8 to binary:
00001111 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0FE8 represents the character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON'. This character is commonly used in digital text to represent the letter 'A' with a macron, which is an overline or line above the letter. In linguistic contexts, this character is often used in languages such as Finnish and Estonian, where it is used to denote long vowels. The macron in U+0FE8 serves a crucial role in accurately representing the phonetic and phonological properties of these languages. In technical terms, the Unicode standard assigns each character a unique code point, allowing for accurate encoding and display of text across different platforms and devices. Therefore, U+0FE8 plays an essential role in preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating global communication.
