Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒎ has the Unicode code point U+248E. 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+248E to binary:
00100100 10001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+248E represents the digit seven followed by a full stop. This specific character is part of a set of numerals used in subscript form (U+2470 to U+24FE), which were designed for mathematical notation and other applications requiring subscript text. The U+248E character is often utilized in digital texts, particularly within the context of mathematical equations or scientific documents where subscript representation of numbers is necessary. Its primary function is to denote the digit seven followed immediately by a full stop, providing an important distinction from the standard numeral '7' without any punctuation.
