Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FFA. 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+0FFA to binary:
00001111 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+0FFA is a unique and important symbol in the world of digital typography. It represents the character "", also known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE," which is part of the Latin Extended-A (LatnExt) block of characters within the Unicode Standard. This specific symbol is used to represent a combination of the letters "A" and "E," often found in various European languages, particularly those with Germanic roots, such as Old Norse and Old English. The use of this character allows for the accurate representation of historical texts and proper names that contain this unique letter combination, ensuring fidelity in digital text when compared to physical documents or manuscripts.
