Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FFB. 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+0FFB to binary:
00001111 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+0FFB, or CHARACTER 0FFB, is a rarely used character in the Unicode standard. Its typical usage or role in digital text is quite limited due to its obscure nature. In linguistic contexts, this character does not represent any specific symbol or letter from a known alphabet. It holds no cultural significance and is not associated with any particular language. In technical terms, U+0FFB falls within the range of control characters in the first supplementary Unicode block (U+0FFF to U+1FFFD). Control characters are used to represent control signals or actions in text processing systems, such as tabs, newlines, and other formatting elements. However, these characters are not visible on screen or when printed and do not contribute to the content or meaning of a text string. The limited usage of U+0FFB can be attributed to its position in the Unicode standard. Due to the vast range of characters and symbols available for use in digital texts, there is little need for such obscure characters. In summary, CHARACTER 0FFB holds no significant role or application in digital text, and its use is quite rare in practice.
