Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁗ has the Unicode code point U+2057. 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+2057 to binary:
00100000 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2057, also known as the Quadruple Prime symbol, holds a unique place in typography and digital text. Its primary usage is within mathematical expressions and scientific notation, where it represents a multiplication operation that occurs four times consecutively. This character is particularly useful for denoting an exponent of four in an exponentiation operation. Despite its limited use in everyday language, the Quadruple Prime symbol has a notable role in technical contexts like computer programming and data encoding, where it is used to escape or encode certain characters that may otherwise be misinterpreted by software or systems. Although its usage is relatively niche, the Quadruple Prime symbol plays an important part in ensuring accurate and precise communication within specialized fields.
