Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇞ has the Unicode code point U+31DE. 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+31DE to binary:
00110001 11011110. 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:
11100011 10000111 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+31DE, known as CJK STROKE SZZ, is a specialized typographical symbol found predominantly in digital text. It serves an important role in East Asian typography, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. This character does not represent any inherent linguistic meaning or cultural significance; instead, it is used to visually connect or separate certain characters or sections of text. In some instances, the CJK STROKE SZZ may be employed to create a more visually appealing layout for a given text block or passage. As an obscure and niche character within the Unicode Standard, U+31DE might not have widespread usage or familiarity outside of specialized typography communities and users. However, its inclusion in the Unicode system reflects the extensive effort to create a universal standard for digital text, encompassing characters from a broad range of languages, scripts, and cultural contexts.
