Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FF3. 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+0FF3 to binary:
00001111 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+0FF3 (character 0xFF3) holds a significant role in digital text as it represents the fullwidth vertical line in typography. This character is widely used in Japanese and East Asian text, where it acts as a separator or divider in various written contexts such as lists, tables, and paragraphs. Its full-width characteristic makes it an ideal choice for aligning text with traditional right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew when displayed on devices that use left-to-right layouts. Additionally, this character is often utilized in programming languages for marking code sections or creating visual boundaries in user interface elements.
