Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃦ has the Unicode code point U+20E6. 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+20E6 to binary:
00100000 11100110. 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 10000011 10100110

Description
U+20E6 is the Unicode code point for the COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE OVERLAY character. This glyph is a unique and specialized typographical symbol used to overlay two vertical strokes in digital text. The primary purpose of this character is to create or modify specific designs, symbols, or patterns within text that cannot be achieved with standard alphanumeric characters. In certain cases, it may also be used for artistic or decorative purposes, where the user wishes to add a distinctive touch to their text. However, its use is limited due to its specialty nature and because it does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context tied to it. U+20E6 has no direct counterpart in any major writing system, but may be used as an overlay on other characters in Unicode to create custom glyphs or symbols.
