Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〕 has the Unicode code point U+3015. 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+3015 to binary:
00110000 00010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+3015, known as the "RIGHT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET," is a less commonly used typographical symbol in digital text. In its typical usage or role, it serves to enclose and delimit sections of text, similar to the more widely recognized square and round brackets. This specific character is particularly valued for its unique visual design, which resembles a tortoise shell. Its appearance is derived from traditional Japanese typography, where it has been used for centuries in various writing systems like hiragana and katakana. Although it does not have an equivalent in the English or Latin alphabets, its inclusion in Unicode allows for wider use and recognition across different languages and platforms. The Right Tortoise Shell Bracket is considered a technical symbol rather than linguistic, as it is not tied to any particular language or meaning but rather serves a functional purpose in text formatting. Its cultural significance can be seen in the preservation of traditional Japanese writing systems, and its continued use demonstrates the richness and diversity of global typography.
