Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ␄ has the Unicode code point U+2404. 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+2404 to binary:
00100100 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2404, the Symbol for End of Transmission (EOF), is a crucial character in the realm of digital text and communication systems. Its primary role is to indicate the end of a data transmission or file transfer, serving as a signal for receiving devices to cease reading further data. The EOF symbol is widely used in various industries, including programming, data communication, and file management, ensuring smooth information exchange between software applications and devices. Despite not having any cultural, linguistic, or specific technical context, the EOF character plays a pivotal part in maintaining the integrity of digital data transmission and facilitating efficient data exchange processes across different platforms.
