Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ❝ has the Unicode code point U+275D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+275D to binary:
00100111 01011101
. 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 10011101 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+275D, known as the HEAVY DOUBLE TURNED COMMA QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT, is a typographical element that serves an aesthetic function in digital text. It features two inverted commas with a decorative twist and is often used for embellishing quotations or dialogue in literary works, particularly when a heavier, more ornate style is desired. Though not commonly found in everyday digital communication, its use can provide an enhanced visual appeal to text-based art or designs. The HEAVY DOUBLE TURNED COMMA QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT has no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context and is primarily utilized for its decorative value. It is important to note that its usage may vary depending on the platform's support for Unicode characters, as it might not be available in certain fonts or rendering systems.
