Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D6B. 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+2D6B to binary:
00101101 01101011. 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 10110101 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+2D6B is a symbol that represents the degree sign (°). It is frequently used to denote temperature or angles in various fields of science, engineering, and meteorology. The degree sign has been adopted from the Latin alphabet where it was initially used as an abbreviation for 'degre' meaning a unit of measure. In digital text, this character serves the same purpose, conveying that a value is expressed in degrees. It is commonly found in weather forecasts, scientific data, and mathematical equations to illustrate measurements. Although the degree sign might seem trivial, it plays an essential role in ensuring accuracy and preventing misinterpretation in various contexts. As part of Unicode, this character ensures compatibility across different languages and platforms, promoting clear communication worldwide.
