Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒗ has the Unicode code point U+2497. 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+2497 to binary:
00100100 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2497, or NUMBER SIXTEEN FULL STOP, is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for mathematical notation and formulae. It represents the number sixteen followed by a full stop (period) to distinguish it from other numeric symbols. Although not as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, U+2497 holds significance within specific technical contexts and mathematical expressions where precise notation is crucial. This character can be found in various software applications that support Unicode, such as Microsoft Word, LaTeX, and other specialized math typesetting programs. Its primary role is to ensure clarity and reduce ambiguity when presenting numbers in digital text formats.
