Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FEF. 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+0FEF to binary:
00001111 11101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+0FEF is a Unicode character with the code point 0FEF. It represents the 'RIGHT-TO-LEFT ARABIC POUND SIGN' (RTP) in digital text, specifically in the Arabic script. The RTP is used to denote the currency symbol for the Saudi Arabian Riyal and it has the Unicode character U+0024 as its base Latin counterpart. Its primary usage in digital texts is within Arabic typography, where it functions alongside other right-to-left (RTL) characters in written content. In this context, it plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic and cultural integrity of the text for Arabic-speaking audiences. The RTP is an essential element for proper formatting and display of currency values within software applications, financial documents, and websites catering to users from Saudi Arabia and other regions where the Riyal is used as a currency.
