Question

Given the following UTF-8 byte stream:

    0x63 0xec 0xa7 0x93 0x33 0xd3 0xa9

what are the unicode character code points encoded by the above stream?

Answer 1

Solution:

Each unicode character is represented by a unicode code point which is an integer value. The code point integer values go from 0 to 10FFFF (in hexadecimal encoding).. A code point is an integer value that uniquely identifies the given character. Unicode characters can be encoded using different encodings, like UTF-8 . Below is the table showing the same:

UTF-8 byte stream	Character	Decimal code point	Hex UTF-8 bytes
0X63	c	99	63
0Xec	i	236	C3 AC
0Xa7	§ (SECTION SIGN)	167	C2 A7
0x93	"	147	C2 93
0x33	3	51	33
0xd3	Ó(O WITH ACUTE)	211	C3 93
0xa9	©	COPYRIGHT SIGN	C2 A9
