Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FE9. 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+0FE9 to binary:
00001111 11101001
. 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 10101001

Description
U+0FE9, also known as the Latin Capital Letter with Vertical Stroke, is a less common Unicode character primarily used for digital text representation in certain typesetting systems and scripts. It is utilized to create a unique visual effect by adding a vertical stroke to the uppercase letter "A", making it stand out from other characters in the alphabet. In typography and design contexts, U+0FE9 can be employed for creating distinct visual elements, such as logos, brand identities, or in artistic expression where an accentuated version of the letter A is desired. Despite its rarity, this character plays a subtle yet significant role in expanding the creative possibilities within digital text.
