Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃨ has the Unicode code point U+20E8. 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+20E8 to binary:
00100000 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+20E8, known as the COMBINING TRIPLE UNDERDOT, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text for various stylistic purposes. It consists of three consecutive underscores (_) placed directly below a preceding character or text. Its usage can be seen in programming and coding languages, where it helps in demarcating the separation of code sections or segments, enhancing readability and organization. In some cases, it is also used in word processing applications to create a visual effect of underlining text with three lines instead of the conventional single line. Though its usage may not be widespread in everyday language or communication, the COMBINING TRIPLE UNDERDOT holds importance in specific contexts like coding, programming, and design where precision and visual distinction are crucial.
