Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒑ has the Unicode code point U+2491. 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+2491 to binary:
00100100 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2491, known as NUMBER TEN FULL STOP, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to represent the numeral '10' followed by a vertical line that serves as a visual separator or divider. This character is often employed in financial or statistical data, where it helps to differentiate between multiple sets of numbers within a single text. While U+2491 shares some resemblance with other number-separator symbols, its distinct designation as a full stop rather than a hyphen or horizontal line sets it apart and provides a unique visual cue in the context of digital communication. Despite not having a strong cultural or linguistic significance, U+2491 serves an important role in ensuring clarity and ease of understanding for readers of numerical data in various industries, such as finance, economics, and statistics.
