Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ❵ has the Unicode code point U+2775. 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+2775 to binary:
00100111 01110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The character U+2775, known as the Medium Right Curly Bracket Ornament, is a unique typographical symbol found within the Unicode standard. This special character holds significance in digital text due to its distinctive appearance, which differs from the traditional curly brackets commonly used for mathematical notation and coding. The Medium Right Curly Bracket Ornament showcases an elegant swirl in its design, making it an attractive option for use in typography-focused projects, such as design work or digital art. Despite its visually appealing form, the character remains underutilized in linguistic or cultural contexts and is primarily employed for its aesthetic appeal or to add variation within text. As a result, the Medium Right Curly Bracket Ornament serves as an example of how the Unicode standard allows for diverse typographical options to enrich digital communication and creative expression.
