Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20CC. 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+20CC to binary:
00100000 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+20CC is a lesser-known symbol in the vast world of typography. Its primary use lies in the field of linguistics and cultural representation, specifically for marking text that should be translated into a different language or script without changing its original formatting. This is particularly useful when translating documents containing multiple languages or scripts. The character is a part of the "Other Symbol" category in Unicode, which includes various special characters and symbols used to denote specific actions or concepts in digital text. While U+20CC may not be as widely recognized as other typographic symbols, it plays an important role in ensuring accurate translations and maintaining text consistency across languages.
