Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FF4. 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+0FF4 to binary:
00001111 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0FF4 (character 0xFF4) is a less commonly used character in the Latin Extended-B block of the Unicode Standard. Its typical usage or role in digital text is not very prominent due to its rarity and lack of significant presence in widely used languages or scripts. There is no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with this specific character. It falls under the category of "Control Pictures" within the Unicode Standard, which are characters that represent visual control elements such as symbols for page breaks, lines, and other typographic elements. These characters are often used in programming and markup languages to format text and create specific layouts. Despite its obscure nature, U+0FF4 still holds importance within the realm of digital typography and text formatting, contributing to the diverse range of characters available for various specialized applications.
