Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2453. 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+2453 to binary:
00100100 01010011
. 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 10010011

Description
U+2453, also known as CHARACTER 2453, is a specialized character within the Unicode standard that holds a unique role in digital text. While it does not have any specific cultural or linguistic associations, it serves an essential technical function when used in typography. In various coding systems and programming languages, U+2453 acts as a control character, serving to represent different types of line breaks or page layout formatting elements. This allows for greater precision and customization when crafting digital text documents, ensuring that the final output adheres closely to the author's intended design. Despite its importance in specific applications, U+2453 remains relatively obscure compared to more widely recognized Unicode characters due to its niche usage within technical contexts.
