Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+244E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+244E to binary:
00100100 01001110
. 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 10010001 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+244E (CHARACTER 244E) is a unique typographical element used primarily in digital text for specific technical applications. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Technical category of the Unicode Standard, which includes various symbols and characters not explicitly assigned to other categories. While it does not have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, its usage often serves as a technical marker or placeholder within data streams and documentation. The character may be utilized in fields such as computer programming, data encoding, and digital communications, where it can serve to denote specific information or indicate certain parameters within a data set. As an essential part of the Unicode system, CHARACTER 244E contributes to the accuracy, clarity, and efficiency of digitally formatted text across multiple platforms and devices.
