Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FF9. 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+0FF9 to binary:
00001111 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+0FF9, also known as the "Vertical Ellipsis," is a specialized character used predominantly in Japanese typography for digital text. This character plays a crucial role in denoting omission or a pause in thought within written content. The Vertical Ellipsis (U+0FF9) distinguishes itself from its horizontal counterpart through its vertical orientation, facilitating seamless integration into vertically flowing texts. In the context of Japanese writing, this character is particularly useful for creating a visual break or to indicate the omission of text without disrupting the flow of reading in a top-to-bottom manner. It is important to note that U+0FF9 is primarily used within the Japanese language and its application may not be as universally recognized in other linguistic contexts.
