Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E74. 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+2E74 to binary:
00101110 01110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2E74 is a specialized typographical symbol known as the Black Lined Circle with Vertical Stroke. This character is primarily used in digital text for its distinctive visual appearance, which consists of a circle with a vertical stroke running through it. In certain technical and engineering contexts, this character may be utilized to represent a specific concept or object where a more standard symbol would not suffice. While the U+2E74 character does not have any direct linguistic associations in common languages, its use may be found in specialized fields such as design, engineering, or other technical domains where unique symbols can help convey complex ideas more clearly and efficiently.
