Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁋ has the Unicode code point U+204B. 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+204B to binary:
00100000 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+204B, known as the Reversed Pilcrow Sign, plays a significant role in digital typography. Primarily used to represent a paragraph symbol in left-to-right text layouts, this symbol is an inverted version of the pilcrow (¶), or paragraph mark, which is commonly employed to indicate paragraph breaks in written works. Although its usage is less common than that of the pilcrow, the reversed pilcrow sign can be beneficial when used in right-to-left text layouts, as it maintains consistency with other Unicode characters used in such contexts. This enables efficient and accurate communication across different languages and script directions. In summary, U+204B is an essential typographical character that ensures effective digital text representation in various cultural, linguistic, and technical scenarios.
