Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E6B. 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+2E6B to binary:
00101110 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 10111001 10101011

Description
U+2E6B is a rare character in Unicode that holds the Code Point 2E6B. Typically used in digital text, this character represents the symbol for the "Katakana-Hiragana Proportional Form". It's part of the Katakana script, one of the three Japanese scripts along with Hiragana and Kanji. This character is often utilized to distinguish between similar Hiragana characters in a text. Although it may seem archaic or niche, its usage is essential for accurate representation of certain linguistic elements in the Japanese language. The Katakana-Hiragana Proportional Form symbol is important in digital typography and plays a significant role in maintaining cultural authenticity when working with Japanese texts.
