Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑺ has the Unicode code point U+247A. 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+247A to binary:
00100100 01111010
. 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 10010001 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+247A, known as the Parenthesized Digit Seven, is a typographical representation of the digit '7' enclosed within parentheses. In digital text, this character is commonly used to emphasize or highlight the number seven in specific contexts, such as mathematical equations, technical documents, and programming code. The Parenthesized Digit Seven is part of the Unicode block titled "Combining Diacritical Marks for Use with the Latin Script," which contains characters that modify the appearance of other Latin script characters. While this character does not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance, it serves a vital role in clear and accurate communication within the realm of technical documents and programming languages, where specificity and clarity are paramount.
