Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁔ has the Unicode code point U+2054. 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+2054 to binary:
00100000 01010100. 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 10000001 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+2054, also known as the Inverted Underline, is a typographical symbol primarily employed in digital text for specific formatting purposes. Its usage typically involves creating an underlined effect that faces downward, offering a visually unique approach compared to the conventional upward-facing underline represented by the Unicode U+005F (UNDERSCORE). This characteristic feature of the Inverted Underline enables designers and typographers to create contrasting visual elements within text, enhancing legibility and emphasizing specific sections or keywords. Although the Inverted Underline does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts outside of its formatting role, it remains an essential tool for digital text design and typography. The character's presence in the Unicode Standard ensures consistency across various platforms and applications, streamlining its usage and application for users around the world. As a result, U+2054 Inverted Underline serves as a versatile and practical symbol in the realm of digital typography, offering designers and writers an additional formatting option to create visually engaging and easy-to-read content.
