Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 《 has the Unicode code point U+300A. 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+300A to binary:
00110000 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+300A, known as the Left Double Angle Bracket, primarily serves as a typographical symbol within digital texts. In most cases, this symbol is used to enclose a range of characters or numbers in various programming languages and markup languages. Its primary role is in denoting the inclusive range of elements between two points, often acting as an opening bracket for a series that ends with its counterpart, the Right Double Angle Bracket (U+300B). Despite its technical usage, there isn't any significant cultural or linguistic context attached to this character. The Left Double Angle Bracket is widely used in programming and coding due to its versatile nature and precise functionality. It is essential for creating complex structures in various digital texts such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., where the need arises to specify a range of values or elements.
