Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+13FF. 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+13FF to binary:
00010011 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 10001111 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+13FF is a unique symbol with limited applications in digital text. Officially known as the "Modifier Letter A below S" (M), it serves as an accented character, specifically a variant of the letter 'A' that sits slightly below the letter 'S.' In typographical contexts and linguistic transcriptions, U+13FF often appears in modified alphabets or diacritical marks. However, its use is quite niche due to the rarity of languages that utilize such a combination. Despite its limited role, this character plays an important part in ensuring accurate representation of specific cultural and linguistic nuances in digital texts.
