Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FF1. 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+0FF1 to binary:
00001111 11110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+0FF1 represents the Latin capital letter I with acute (CHARACTER 0FF1). This typographical symbol is commonly utilized in digital text to signify a standard capital "I" that has an accent mark denoting a slight upward-angled stress on the base character. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character is often used in various languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and others where accents are essential for proper pronunciation and to distinguish between similar words with different meanings. The use of acute accents helps maintain the correct phonetic values and intonations in written communication. In technical terms, U+0FF1 is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block within the Unicode Standard, and its encoding follows the Universal Character Set (UCS) format. Overall, CHARACTER 0FF1 plays a significant role in digital text representation by ensuring accurate language expression and pronunciation in multiple languages that employ acute accents on capital "I".
