Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒮ has the Unicode code point U+24AE. 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+24AE to binary:
00100100 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+24AE, also known as the Parenthesized Latin Small Letter S, is a less commonly used typographic element in digital text. It serves to represent the lowercase letter 's' within parentheses, often employed in mathematical and scientific documents for denoting variables or placeholders. Although its usage may seem limited compared to other common Unicode characters, it provides specificity and clarity when dealing with complex equations or formulas that require differentiation from standard alphabetic notation. The Parenthesized Latin Small Letter S is typically found in the context of mathematical typography and symbolism, where it plays a minor yet essential role in maintaining consistency and order within highly structured texts. While its presence may be less prevalent than other Unicode characters, the Parenthesized Latin Small Letter S stands as an important tool for those working in niche fields that require precision in typographic representation.
