Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E7E. 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+2E7E to binary:
00101110 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E7E is a unique symbol known as "CHARACTER 2E7E." In the realm of digital text, this character serves a specific role, primarily used for representing a particular mathematical or technical concept, such as a subscript digit. However, it may not have widespread usage due to its relatively recent introduction in Unicode. As part of the U+2E00 to U+2EFF range, which includes various mathematical alphanumeric symbols, CHARACTER 2E7E falls under the category of typographical and mathematical signs. While it doesn't have a strong cultural or linguistic context, its presence in digital text contributes to the rich diversity of characters available for expressing specific mathematical notations or technical requirements. As digital communication continues to evolve, CHARACTER 2E7E may find increased usage in specialized fields where precise representation is crucial.
