Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒈ has the Unicode code point U+2488. 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+2488 to binary:
00100100 10001000
. 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 10010010 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+2488, known as DIGIT ONE FULL STOP, is a typographical symbol that combines the appearance of the numeral '1' with a period (full stop). This unique glyph finds its primary application in digital text for creating a distinct visual marker or bullet point. While it may not hold significant linguistic value across different cultures and languages, it serves a specific purpose in design and typography, offering an alternative to traditional bullets or numbers when used in lists or other enumerated content. The DIGIT ONE FULL STOP character can be found within the "Combining Diacritical Marks for Use with the Arabic Presentation Forms" block of Unicode, indicating its specialized use in typographic contexts.
