Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒭ has the Unicode code point U+24AD. 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+24AD to binary:
00100100 10101101
. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+24AD, known as PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER R, serves a significant role in digital text representation by providing a way to represent the lowercase letter 'r' within parentheses for specific use cases. This character is not commonly used in everyday language but finds its application in specialized fields such as typography, programming, and linguistics where unique visual representations or character encodings are required. While it does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context on a global scale, it remains an important tool for those working with niche areas of digital text where specific letter encoding within parentheses is necessary.
