Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+18FF. 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+18FF to binary:
00011000 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+18FF, or CHARACTER 18FF, is a less common character within the Unicode Standard. It holds the typographical space for the Modifier Letter Vertical Line (◌̍) in digital text. This character is primarily used as a diacritic to modify other letters and symbols by adding a vertical line over them. Its usage is often found in various linguistic contexts where diacritics are crucial, such as in the Romanian language or some specialized technical notations. Although it may not be widely recognized or frequently used, CHARACTER 18FF plays an essential role in specific cultures and industries that require precise typography for accurate communication.
