Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➗ has the Unicode code point U+2797. 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+2797 to binary:
00100111 10010111. 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 10011110 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2797, also known as the Heavy Division Sign (⁇), plays a vital role in digital typography and text representation. This character is primarily used to indicate a division or separation of elements within a textual context. Its heavy appearance, as opposed to a simple line break, underscores its importance in the given context. This character has been employed across various fields such as mathematics, programming, and linguistics where clear demarcation is necessary for readability and comprehension. In mathematical notation, it can be used to divide sections of an equation or represent a division operation. Within programming, it assists in delineating code segments, which aids in the understanding and maintenance of complex scripts. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, U+2797 is not associated with any specific culture, language, or technology. Its usage is more universal, reflecting its role as a generic typographical tool rather than a culturally or linguistically specific symbol. It's worth noting that while U+2797 may not be common in everyday text, it serves an essential purpose when clarity and precision are required in digital text representation. Its use underscores the importance of accurate, unambiguous typography, reflecting a commitment to precise communication in the digital realm.
