Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1CFE. 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+1CFE to binary:
00011100 11111110. 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 10110011 10111110

Description
U+1CFE is a Unicode character representing the symbol "ℿ". This character falls within the Miscellaneous Symbols block, specifically in the Mathematical Operators section of the Unicode standard. It is often used in digital text to represent an inverted capital letter Y, which can have multiple meanings depending on its usage. In mathematics and scientific notation, it is commonly used as a symbol for the hyperinverse or inverse hyperbolic cosine function. In linguistic contexts, it may be used to represent a distinct phoneme or grapheme in certain languages, though this usage is relatively rare. The character U+1CFE has no significant cultural associations and is primarily used for its technical function in digital text. It is crucial for accurate communication, especially in fields where the precise mathematical or linguistic meaning of characters is critical.
