Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〙 has the Unicode code point U+3019. 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+3019 to binary:
00110000 00011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+3019, known as the Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket, is a lesser-known symbol that primarily serves a typographic function in digital text. This unique character represents the right half of a pair of brackets, closely resembling a tortoise shell with its concave shape. Its primary usage is in East Asian languages where it is commonly employed to denote phonetic transcription, tone marks, or other linguistic elements in written communication. In some contexts, it can also be found in technical documentation or source code, though its usage here is less common due to the availability of more universally recognized symbols. Despite its relatively niche role, U+3019 plays a vital part in maintaining the accuracy and clarity of text in specific linguistic and cultural contexts where its unique shape provides necessary distinction and meaning.
