Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ❴ has the Unicode code point U+2774. 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+2774 to binary:
00100111 01110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2774 is known as the Medium Left Curly Bracket Ornament. This typographical symbol is part of a set of left-curly brackets ornements that also includes U+2773 (Light Left Curly Bracket Ornament) and U+2775 (Heavy Left Curly Bracket Ornament). These characters are mainly used for decorative purposes in digital text, particularly in typography design and layout. They can be employed to add an artistic flair or unique visual element to written content without impacting the overall meaning of the text. Although not commonly used for linguistic purposes, these ornements can also be incorporated into mathematical or technical documents for a more creative approach.
