Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 「 has the Unicode code point U+300C. 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+300C to binary:
00110000 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+300C, known as the Left Corner Bracket, is a valuable typographical symbol with diverse applications across various digital text contexts. This character plays a crucial role in encoding mathematical expressions, specifically as a left-hand delimiter for fractions or radicals in mathematical equations. It serves to enclose elements that require special treatment by layout or processing software, such as superscript and subscript text, making it indispensable in scientific and technical documentation. The Left Corner Bracket is not limited to mathematical usage; it also finds utility in computer programming languages, where it denotes the beginning of a block comment, enabling developers to include explanatory notes within their code without affecting its execution. While the Left Corner Bracket may seem like a niche character to some users, its significance cannot be overstated in fields that rely on precise mathematical and coding conventions.
