Considering file size calculation for emoji string in UTF-8
I need to determine the size of a file containing the emoji string plus potentially a newline. The problem doesn’t explicitly mention newlines, but I suspect it’s asking for the size of the file as containing just that exact line with a newline at the end.
Let’s assume the file includes a newline for calculation.
Calculating the bytes for compound emojis in UTF-8
I’m figuring out the byte size for each emoji in UTF-8. Simple ones like 🌺, 🏡, 🍂, 🏓, and 📸 each use 4 bytes. But for 🚴♂️, it’s more complicated: it involves multiple code points like U+1F6B4 (4 bytes), the ZWJ (3 bytes), the male sign (3 bytes), and sometimes a variation selector (3 bytes). All of these put together could add up to 13 bytes.
Verifying the sequence for "🚴♂️" and checking hidden characters
The emoji "🚴♂️" seems to display with a cyclist, male sign, and VS16, but I don't think a VS is necessary after the cyclist emoji since it's already an emoji. The right sequence likely is 1F6B4, 200D, 2642, FE0F. I’ll check the string for hidden characters, like potential zero-width spaces.
Determining the file size with and without newline
The task likely asks for the size of the file including only emojis and possibly a newline. The emojis "🥨" and "👌" each take up 4 bytes, while the earlier ones we counted add up to 33 bytes. With a newline at the end, the total becomes 42 bytes. The file may contain just the emoji line and the newline at the end.
