Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 、 has the Unicode code point U+3001. 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+3001 to binary:
00110000 00000001. 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 10000000 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+3001 represents the Ideographic Comma, a symbol used primarily in digital texts of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. It serves as a comma, but its usage differs from that of the Latin-script comma. In East Asian texts, it is typically placed inside parentheses or at the end of a sentence to indicate a pause or a list item, rather than separating words within a sentence. The Ideographic Comma plays a crucial role in maintaining clarity and readability in digital text, where its unique placement and function distinguish it from other punctuation marks. Its importance lies in its ability to adapt to the various writing systems and conventions of East Asian languages, thereby enhancing the accuracy and fluidity of communication.
