Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+245C. 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+245C to binary:
00100100 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+245C (CHARACTER 245C) is a specialized typographical symbol used predominantly in digital text for representing a mathematical or scientific unit of measure. It is part of the Enclosed Alphanumeric Symbols block, which includes various characters often utilized in subscript and superscript notation. The CHARACTER 245C specifically serves as an enclosure for a lowercase 'u', offering a clear visual distinction between the enclosed character and the surrounding text. Its use is typically found in mathematical formulas, scientific notations, or coding contexts where precise representation of units, such as microseconds (μs) or nanometers (nm), is crucial for accuracy and comprehension. Although not widely used outside of these specific domains, CHARACTER 245C plays a vital role in maintaining clarity and precision in specialized fields where unit measurements are essential.
