Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫂ has the Unicode code point U+1AC2. 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+1AC2 to binary:
00011010 11000010
. 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:
11100001 10101011 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1AC2 represents the "COMBINING RIGHT PARENTHESIS ABOVE RIGHT" (CRPAR). This typographical element is primarily used in digital text to visually convey mathematical or logical expressions with superscripts. It typically appears above and to the right of a parenthesis, serving as an accent to the character below it. In mathematical contexts, CRPAR might be employed to indicate exponents or powers within a formula. While its use is relatively niche compared to more commonly seen Unicode characters, the COMBINING RIGHT PARENTHESIS ABOVE RIGHT plays a crucial role in specific applications requiring precise typography and layout, such as mathematical notation and certain linguistic scripts.
