Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑶ has the Unicode code point U+2476. 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+2476 to binary:
00100100 01110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2476, known as PARENTHESIZED DIGIT THREE, is a typographic symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text representation. This character is part of the "Combining Number Forms" block and is often used in mathematical expressions, programming languages, and computer notations to indicate parenthesized digits within a numerical sequence. Unlike standard numerals or punctuation marks, U+2476 represents a digit enclosed within a set of parentheses. The use of PARENTHESIZED DIGIT THREE is predominantly technical, serving as an indicator of a specific position within a series, or as a way to highlight or emphasize certain digits in the context of numbers. This character has no direct cultural, linguistic, or aesthetic significance, and its primary function is to provide clarity and precision in various digital applications.
