Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2DC7. 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+2DC7 to binary:
00101101 11000111. 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 10110111 10000111

Description
U+2DC7 is a Unicode character representing the "REVERSED SOLIDUS" (also known as the backslash). This symbol, often used in computer programming and digital text, serves as a delimiter or separator. It primarily helps to clarify the syntax of programming languages and differentiate between various elements within a code. While not commonly seen outside of technical contexts, the reversed solidus has an important role in languages like Python and C# where it is used for escape sequences, string manipulation, regular expressions, and directory separators. It is also found in mathematics and logic, where it represents division by zero or the "or" operation.
