Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〈 has the Unicode code point U+3008. 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+3008 to binary:
00110000 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+3008 represents the Left Angle Bracket (‹). It is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text for various purposes such as indicating directional flow in text, highlighting code blocks, and in mathematical expressions. In some programming languages and markup languages like HTML or XML, it signifies the beginning of a tag or an element. The Left Angle Bracket, along with its right counterpart U+3009 (›), are fundamental symbols in digital typography and serve as essential tools for accurate and clear communication in various contexts.
