Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ❫ has the Unicode code point U+276B. 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+276B to binary:
00100111 01101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+276B is a lesser-known character in the Unicode standard, representing the Medium Flattened Right Parenthesis Ornament. While not widely utilized in digital text, this glyph holds significance for its unique design that deviates from conventional typography. Its appearance resembles a right parenthesis with a flat, elongated top curve and a slightly curved base, giving it an ornate and decorative flair. The character's purpose is primarily artistic, often used to add visual interest in designs, such as borders, headers, or other typographic ornaments where traditional parentheses might be deemed too plain or generic. In some cases, U+276B may also be employed in linguistic contexts where specific symbols or scripts call for a more decorative approach to punctuation. Overall, U+276B is a testament to the diversity and creativity available within the Unicode standard, reflecting the wide range of typographic possibilities that exist beyond standard Latin alphabetic characters.
