Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒱ has the Unicode code point U+24B1. 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+24B1 to binary:
00100100 10110001
. 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 10110001

Description
U+24B1, also known as the Parenthesized Latin Small Letter V, is a Unicode character that holds a unique position in typography and digital text. This character combines the standard lowercase letter "v" with parentheses, creating an open-ended, curved visual effect reminiscent of a lowercase "v" encapsulated within parentheses. In terms of its typical usage or role in digital text, U+24B1 is most commonly found in instances where a distinct, visually appealing representation of the letter "v" is desired, especially when used as part of an alphabetic sequence or typographic design element. While U+24B1 does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it can be appreciated for its contribution to the rich diversity of Unicode character sets. The Unicode standard, which aims to accommodate all characters from all languages and scripts worldwide, continues to expand as digital communication becomes increasingly globalized. In this regard, U+24B1 serves as a testament to the ongoing efforts to ensure that digital text remains versatile, expressive, and inclusive.
