Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ‱ has the Unicode code point U+2031. 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+2031 to binary:
00100000 00110001. 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 10000000 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2031, known as the PER TEN THOUSAND SIGN, serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the Roman numeral symbol for ten thousand (X). This symbol is particularly prominent in mathematics and scientific fields where Roman numerals are used to denote large quantities. In addition, it finds usage in typography, historical documents, and cultural artifacts that use the Roman numeral system. Although modern culture has largely transitioned to the Arabic numeral system for ease of understanding, the PER TEN THOUSAND SIGN remains a significant element in maintaining the integrity and preservation of ancient numerical systems.
