Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2430. 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+2430 to binary:
00100100 00110000. 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 10010000 10110000

Description
U+2430 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, which represents the "DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL B". This character belongs to the category of Letterlike Symbols and is commonly used in mathematical expressions or scientific notation for denoting bold uppercase letters. The double-struck capital B, specifically, is often used to denote a unit of measurement called the "Bohr magneton", which is a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics. It is also employed in various fields such as engineering and physics due to its clear distinction from other characters. In digital text, U+2430 ensures clarity and precision in expressing mathematical or scientific concepts that require specific symbols rather than just regular alphabetic letters.
