Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+18FA. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+18FA to binary:
00011000 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:
11100001 10100011 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+18FA is a rarely used symbol that holds no specific typographical function. However, it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support a wider range of characters for various writing systems and symbols worldwide. Its typical usage or role in digital text remains minimal due to its limited application in modern communication, but its presence in the Unicode repertoire contributes to the comprehensive representation of diverse languages and scripts. The character U+18FA does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its existence as a coded symbol within the Unicode Standard. Its primary significance lies in its availability for potential future use or custom application where necessary.
