Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character โ has the Unicode code point U+2451. 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+2451 to binary:
00100100 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2451 represents the Blackboard Bold Fraction 1/2 (๐). This character is primarily used in digital text for mathematical notations, particularly in computer algebra systems and typesetting software. It serves as a bold representation of the fraction one-half, which is commonly used in various branches of mathematics and scientific disciplines such as physics, engineering, and computer science. The Blackboard Bold Fraction 1/2 is notable for its distinct appearance, as it combines the properties of blackboard bold fonts (a style of boldface type often used in mathematical notation) with those of fractions, making it more visually appealing and easier to read than standard fraction representations. This character adheres to the standards set by the Unicode Consortium, ensuring its accurate and consistent usage across multiple platforms and software applications.
