Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20C1. 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+20C1 to binary:
00100000 11000001. 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:
11100010 10000011 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+20C1, known as the Inverted Exclamation Mark (¬), is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text. It serves an analogous function to the standard exclamation mark (!), but it has its body and legs reversed. This can be employed for stylistic purposes, such as emphasizing an informal tone or contrasting with the surrounding text. The Inverted Exclamation Mark is often used in programming and computer-related contexts, where it may represent logical negation or an inversion of a value. While its usage is not widespread in everyday typography, it has seen increased popularity in certain subcultures, such as hacker and coding communities, due to its unique visual appeal and association with technological innovation.
