Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒕ has the Unicode code point U+2495. 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+2495 to binary:
00100100 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2495, also known as the NUMBER FOURTEEN FULL STOP, is a special typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to denote the number fourteen followed by a period, typically within the context of numeric or alphanumeric sequences. This character is particularly useful in programming languages and markup languages, where it can be employed to create unique identifiers and reference points. The NUMBER FOURTEEN FULL STOP has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its specific usage as a clear and distinct representation of the number fourteen followed by a period in digital text. As an essential tool for precise communication in coding and markup languages, it contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of digital information exchange.
