Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E66. 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+2E66 to binary:
00101110 01100110. 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 10111001 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E66 is known as the "TURNED COMMA" (❰). This symbol is primarily used in digital text for its distinct appearance, which is similar to a regular comma but rotated 90 degrees. It is often employed in instances where a traditional comma may not be visually appealing or where a unique visual cue is desired. The Turned Comma is relatively rare in everyday usage, and it is not associated with any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts beyond its role as an alternative punctuation mark. Its primary purpose remains to differentiate itself from the standard comma while still serving a similar function within text.
