Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FEB. 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+0FEB to binary:
00001111 11101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+0FEB is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designated as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE" (CHARACTER 0FEB). This typographical symbol represents an uppercase letter 'A' with a diacritical mark, known as a ring above it. The character is typically utilized in digital text for various purposes such as transcribing words from languages that use Latin alphabet with additional diacritics, like Old Church Slavonic or Middle Irish. U+0FEB can also be employed to convey phonetic details or specific pronunciation rules in linguistic and phonological studies. Its cultural significance lies in its ability to represent various regional dialects, accents, and languages that may use such a diacritical mark for the letter 'A'. From a technical standpoint, U+0FEB is encoded using a hexadecimal value of 00FE in Unicode, allowing it to be easily integrated into digital text processing systems.
