Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒧ has the Unicode code point U+24A7. 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+24A7 to binary:
00100100 10100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+24A7 Parenthesized Latin Small Letter L is a typographic character specifically designed for use in digital text. It combines the appearance of an uppercase letter 'L' with enclosing parentheses, creating a visually distinct and unique symbol that can be utilized to enhance legibility and reduce visual clutter within digital text content. This character is particularly useful in cases where the distinction between the standard lowercase 'l' and uppercase 'L' is necessary for improved readability or semantic clarity. Although it may not have a significant presence in linguistic or cultural contexts, its technical applications in typography and digital text presentation are noteworthy, as it exemplifies the ongoing evolution of character design to accommodate the demands and preferences of modern communication platforms.
