Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 『 has the Unicode code point U+300E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+300E to binary:
00110000 00001110
. 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:

Description
The character U+300E, or the Left White Corner Bracket, plays a crucial role in digital typography. It is often used to indicate the beginning of a mathematical expression, particularly in languages like Japanese and Korean, where it serves as a delimiter for subscripts and superscripts. This symbol helps to clarify complex equations by visually separating different elements within them, making mathematical notation more accessible to readers. The Left White Corner Bracket is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent representation of text across various platforms and devices, promoting better understanding and communication worldwide. In terms of its appearance, the Left White Corner Bracket resembles a right-facing parenthesis without the vertical line on top, providing a clear visual distinction from other brackets and parentheses. Overall, U+300E is an essential character in digital text, particularly for mathematical notation and expressions in languages outside of the Latin script.
