Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D7B. 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+2D7B to binary:
00101101 01111011
. 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 10111011

Description
U+2D7B is a lesser-known character in the Unicode Standard, which represents the symbol "⚏" in digital text. This specific code point is often used to denote an obscure or unique item, typically in specialized contexts where conventional symbols do not suffice. Although its usage is limited, U+2D7B has been employed in certain technical documents and niche applications where a distinct symbol is required for clarification purposes. As with many Unicode characters, the cultural, linguistic, or technical significance of U+2D7B largely depends on its context of use, which can vary widely across different industries and domains. However, it's important to note that this character is not commonly used and may not be immediately recognizable in various text formats.
