Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ␃ has the Unicode code point U+2403. 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+2403 to binary:
00100100 00000011. 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 10010000 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2403 represents the Symbol for End of Text (⌂). It is a relatively obscure character, primarily used in digital text processing for signaling the end of a specific section or segment within a larger document. Its use can be seen in markup languages like HTML, where it might be used to denote the conclusion of a particular component. While U+2403 doesn't have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it does serve a vital role in digital text manipulation and formatting for clarity and orderliness.
