Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹝ has the Unicode code point U+2E5D. 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+2E5D to binary:
00101110 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E5D, known as the Oblique Hyphen, is a lesser-known typographic symbol that primarily serves an obscure role in digital text formatting. Although it may not be widely recognized or used, its presence is significant for those familiar with specialized formats and coding systems. In certain computer programming and markup languages, such as LaTeX and HTML, the Oblique Hyphen (U+2E5D) is employed to create a line of text that appears obliquely slanted or tilted, which can help improve readability or emphasize particular content. This symbol is often employed in mathematical notation, linguistic studies, or technical documents where precise representation of text orientation is crucial. The Oblique Hyphen's usage may be limited due to the rarity of contexts requiring such a specific format, but it remains an essential tool for those working within specialized fields that necessitate its unique function. Its role in digital text showcases the vast range of Unicode characters available to cater to diverse typographical needs and preferences across various industries and disciplines.
